| I earn NOTHING hhahahaha.. before that though I was £18k for a boring IT office job 38 hours ... £9.10 an hour
Dan prices jobs at between £25-30 an hour on most jobs, but can be less for smaller quick turnaround jobs or more for tricky stuff, and some jobs take longer than planned etc so its pretty hard to guess what any month he will earn...based on a good month you would think he'd be on £100k lol but the winter months are quieter! |

| £25k is about the average household income in the UK. 5% of the population hold 90% of the wealth too so there are a massive number below the average.
£2k a month take home is brilliant for a 21 year old. I used to work on a rule of earning as many thousands as you are old so Luke is well over that.
OH and I both have professions so we do alright for pay but it has taken years of study and hard work to get where we are now |

| I just deferred my student loan again on which they said average was £2240 a month before deductions. But as was said, the 'mean' average doesn't give you much of a clue.
I'm on £25k in a bottom of management level nhs job - so I'm 8 years behind on the years for salary scale! My degree was engineering so I suppose I would be in that if I'd stayed in the industry but I wanted out and this is the price you pay for that. Hey ho, at least the holidays are good if not the money in the public sector! |

| We are both in professions so we get paid quite a lot but obviously we did have to do quals get student loans etc to get those jobs.
I thought the national average was about 26,000 x |
