It's a tough life for some folk.

'We earn £190k a year. Do we need to sell our flat to afford private school fees?' - Telegraph

 

Had to check it wasn't an old story from the 1st of April but apparently not.

 

 

Saw this repost which made me laugh

‘We earn £190K a year. Should we sell a child so we can buy another flat?’

It's all relative Beau!

 

I wouldn't want to live in SW London unless someone was paying me 190k to do so.

 

They are just mice on a wheel chasing the cheese but never getting it!

I'm sure they could live more frugally but there typically materialistic and won't give up their Moët every evening in order to help their situation!

Having grown up in London I couldn't wait to get out and you couldn't pay me to go back now. Give me a small wooden house in a forest and I'd need nothing else except maybe a few saws 😃

You miserable gits:lol:

 

That £190k is probably gross so about £111k take home , they have £42k a year in mortgages, probably £20k a year in childcare, £8k+ a year in council tax,pension plans, 2 x travel expenses for work, probably and expensive car on the strap and a house full of gear on the never never. Despite the bit of rental income( which attracts the higher rate of income tax) I would imagine they are having a tough time and doing some serious hours as well.
