best sheff Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 The minimum monthly salary someone over 21 earns for a 37.5hr week is £810.68. You can live on that quite easily. Rent 250pcm Sharing Food 100pcm Bills 50pcm Travel £100 Still leaves £310 a month to do what you want with. Do you live on this salary? Or are you mearly pulling these figures out of the air?

donuticus Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Bills - £50 a month?? If you can show me how I can get my gas, electric, council tax, water rates, TV license, telephone, internet etc ALL for £50 a month, I'd be most grateful! Im not on about a family though I am talking about a single person in a shared house. Even if the bills were a hundred and fifty thats still £200 a month to spend on whatever you want.

Well living on that amount would cut obesity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

donuticus Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Do you live on this salary? Or are you mearly pulling these figures out of the air? No but the figures are what friends pay for bills and the salary mentioned is the minimum wage for over 21's after tax. http://www.sheffieldforum.co.uk/showthread.php?t=591176 The link is to a house share for £195 a month and £75 a month bills which includes council tax internet and sky +utils. SO the figures in my original post don't seem totally out of therealms of possibillity. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
donuticus Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 Oh right. So what about a single person who owns their own house and lives alone? If they can afford a mortgage then I would guess their salary is higher than the minimum wage. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
BananaSplit Posted June 1, 2010 Share Posted June 1, 2010 If they can afford a mortgage then I would guess their salary is higher than the minimum wage. How would you know that as a fact? What if they took out their mortgage 10 years ago, and were made redundant 2 years ago along with millions of others? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
