Trickle Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 My comment isn't sexist, its practical. Thats right. No cars and no houses. Veils too unless they are good looking. They should throw themselves at the feet of men and beg to be taken into a home. Tbh, these days when ^H^H^H, if I ever find the right woman, she could well be earning more than me. Which sounds just fine. She can buy her own car and ferry herself about as I wouldnt want to be saddled being a chauffeur all the time. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Guest Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I earn about £16k plus bonus which pushes it up quite a bit to around £22k My fella is a fireman on £26k a year. We have a mortgage of £170,000 (ouch) which costs us £1000 a month. then we have £100 management fee (as its a flat) council tax £125, then all the bills. It doesn't leave very much at the end of the month but we're happy, and we just love our apartment! I just wonder how were gonna cope when the baby comes along in 6 months........

Cyclone Posted December 26, 2006 Share Posted December 26, 2006 I'm not, I'm just saying if women were not buying houses, then it would reduce demand....... and the prices. Some people think women shouldn't drive cars, but that is just sexist. My comment isn't sexist, its practical. Exactly the same could be said off men, or of all people over 5'8" tall, or under 5'8" for that matter. If any group stopped buying houses it would reduce demand. Now go back under your bridge for a while, no one is going to feed you tonight. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Danny_Boy Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 I am between the 18-22 bracket but hopefully will be up there near the top in six months when I pass my exams I would really like to match this poll up with the age poll to see if there is a link between age and wages (which I am sure there would be but it would be interesting to see it) For the record I am 25.

simondjuk Posted December 27, 2006 Share Posted December 27, 2006 18 - 21k seems to be an average wage, according to the poll. 20k x 3.5 = £65000. any houses going for that price anywhere? Try most places in Hull Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I'm sure there's a pretty strong correlation, nobody starts work at 18 or 21 on 40k+ (unless they're working in the city). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Spotswood Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 I took out a mortgage in 1989 for £26600, and that was costing me around "£200 per month. I was earning around £19000 then and the mortgage was an endowment type. Since then I have changed it to a capital repayment mortgage which is a much more stable way of doing things. Since then I was made redundant twice, but now I have a reasonably stable job and I earn £20000. My wife also earns £16000, so we are comfortable especially when you consider that my mortgage comes to an end in late 2014. ---------- Post added 27-11-2013 at 09:02 ---------- I hope that your situation does not change, because it could be financially devastating with a mortgage that big. My mortgage is £171 per month and ends in 2014. Thank God. I earn about £16k plus bonus which pushes it up quite a bit to around £22k My fella is a fireman on £26k a year. We have a mortgage of £170,000 (ouch) which costs us £1000 a month. then we have £100 management fee (as its a flat) council tax £125, then all the bills.

JR hartley Posted November 27, 2013 Share Posted November 27, 2013 You must be either lying or stupid. Given that there are several people who post and read SF and work for HMRC service. i think you will find hes not doing anything illegal just creative accounting! maybe "fiddling" mileage was a bad choice of words better to say manipulating mileage:hihi: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
