strange them figures.

most people would just about earn ?1 000 000 with 50 years of working, so according to the figures we will die owning hundreds of thousands of pounds, these kinda surveys have nothing meanful to say to 90% of the people so imho are a complete waste of time, money and resources which would of been better spent elsewhere.

Money

Well I have different figures to those.
I don't know the exact national average wage is but lets say ?500 a week or ?26,000 per year and you work as said 50 yrs, well I make that ?1,300,000. So where do we get the other ?200,000.
Moonlighting I hear you shout, well all I can say is you would have to drive a lot of taxis at the weekend to make that sort of money. :dunno:

 

[Wolfie]

national average is supposed to be ?42 000.

i feckin wish.

they should take the top 10% off and then work out the average.

no more mr ?80 000 a week footballers or government plebs with their 3 or 5 paying jobs.

think average should be worked out using the average person on the street, not those in their castles supping the sweat of the working man that made them rich.

feck it, lets just shoot all the top 10% earners in the country who has made their fortune by shafting and feckin up other peoples lives.
