    Why don't you do the math here? Cost of rent / food / other expenses / childcare, see for yourself. 100k is dogsh*t.

    This is the perfect example when millennials and gen z say they don't want to work because salaries are too low and the economy no longer makes sense for them and Gen X and Boomers loose their tulip as they have to retire.

    100k is about £400pd in an outside role. Would you take that? Of course not you hypocrites.

    98% of earners would disagree with you £100k is good money compared to their experience. Most people raising kids on normal wages would mock your attitude.

    Now I agree when I earned £30k 25 years ago I had a lot more disposable income because house and other prices were much lower.

    Due to globalisation, poorly managed immigration and the change in the share of wealth us workers are effectively poorer.

      You missed "entitled". It's a badge of honour.

        I think you should do a basic home budgeting course if you cannot live of 100k.

                Unless you had triplets you would know having 3 children is expensive especially in London after having the first one (or if twins 2).

                So why have more children then you can afford in an expensive city?

                Either move somewhere cheaper or suck it up but most importantly STOP WHINING.

                    £1400 rent (1 bed in London)
                    £300 bills (CT, internet, electr, tv license etc)
                    £800 food (you could do 400 but eating junk)
                    £200 travel (public transport or/and car insurance + finance would be triple that for most people)
                    £200 holiday budget (1 per year somewhere cheap)
                    £50 clothes, dry cleaning, cleaning pods etc
                    £200 going out / social activities
                    £100 miscellaneous
                    --------------------
                    £3250

                    costs above are conservative. and if you say London is expensive, even a dinky flat in Basildon is £1150 now.

                    you are at 3k before factoring other costs, children are at 1300-1500 in childcare + clothes etc. LMAO you can't afford that on 3k salary.

                    You want to save for a house deposit? Have a dental emergency ? tough luck. fly to Bulgaria to take care of that.

                    You folks are out of touch with reality. Bought for 1/4 the prices now, live in a forgotten village and like to put millennials back in their place when they point out the actual truth.
