How much do you need to earn these days for decent life???

[Ainsley Harriott]

I'd be perfectly happy on £20k a year in south Wales (Barry now, Pontypridd in about 6 months time). That amount rises pretty vastly if I moved to Hampshire, Berkshire, Surrey, etc

some interesting posts on this something i,ve been thinking of for a while

one thing for sure the average person in south wales would not have a chance to work and buy a property in london or even rent a property . ainsley mentioned 20k in south wales but in the south east you wouldn't scratch the surface to survive ! house prices and wages vary from region to region . think the property bubble will burst soon

in terms of money it depends where you live but the most important thing is your health and what you call decent
