Wages

[joebloggs]

Irrelevant of what you earn, it's all down to disposable income isn't it

Is a man who earns £100K a year but has £90K of overheads better off than a man who earns £30K with only £10K of overheads

Yes he should be, what's the guy spent his 90k on, eating out every night, first class travel, heating 20+ room house and pleads poverty, I'm sure he could make more of his 90k disposable

Everyone needs a minimum to live off no matter what you earn, util bills, food, travel expenses etc.

Or he could be spending 2K a week on a care home for his critically ill mum

All hypothetical anyway

Well, the guy on 30k wouldn't be able to pay £2k a week for his critically ill mum in a care home, at least the guy on 100k has the choice

As others have said, live within your means, whether 30k or 100k
