It’s actually ridiculous. How can 130k salary not be enough?!

The problem is that £130k salary means not qualifying for free childcare hours, no child benefit, and increased taxation! On top of that, probably the ONLY place in the UK you're earning at that level is in London - which is EXPENSIVE to live in. That being said, your mortgage is a lot less than I expected

People get lost when they see the numbers rather than focus on the math. You SHOULD be able to live ‘lavish’ on 135k but salary erosion means its now a salary you just get by on

It’s ridiculous the more you earn the more you’re penalised, yet there’s people living off benefits with all their costs paid for living large… make that make sense 😳

Mrs Mak :
What are people actually tripping on? She just explained the biggest two things the salary go to! What, they should buy a one bed apartment so they “make it work”? When you earn that much you loose a lot of the “benefits” no childcare hours, tax band ridiculously high etc! Where is the confusion coming from?

The childcare hours go, the tax free allowance goes, London is expensive - property, food, travel etc, £130k should be enough and it’s outrageous that it’s not

London makes 135K salary look weak! That salary commands so much responsibility and then you can’t even live with the basic comforts of life. It’s ridiculous

Craziest thing is to be earning this you have to be working full time and so need the childcare😅 childcare costs are ridiculous

That is insane… that’s literally the top 10% of salaries. You should be living super comfortable with this salary. Ridiculous

And tax eats most of the money. Sometimes you’re better off earning less to get the childcare benefits

It’s the fact someone on over 100k doesn’t get any help with childcare. 2 people earning 135k with neither earning over £100k would get childcare help which does not make any sense!
