What Do You Earn a Week/Month/Year ??

[Simon Pieman]

£1,100 per loan installment. £3,300 per annum. all to be paid back.

I earn the same as Oxford fan. In the summer I worked about 15-20 hours a week for £150 a week.

same as here, although my parents give me a £2250 a year as well. I worked 37 hours a week for 6.5 weeks in the summer in whsmith warehouse

that's what £1250 of the parent's money is for. accommodation rinses my cash the most

£5.50 an hour. it was shit work but fucking easy. too boring to work there for any longer though

[Ben Wah Balls]

Officially I got £6 an hour but I got payed for 5 hours a day and we normally finished after 3-3 1/2 hours but I still got 25 hours a week put on my timesheet. :beers

Likewise it was boring but easy.

wooaahhh £150 a week for me would be like winning the lottery.

in an average week i pay about 2 quid subs on a sunday and £3 subs for six a side on a thursday. with all that cash i could actually buy stuff

[hong kong red]

i earn HK$ 675,000 p.a.
or HK$1,875 per day (based on 30 days in a month, 12 months in a year.)

it ain't that much, believe me, i deserve much more and after the 3 women in my house have thrown it about there's not much left for big daddy.

i earn nothing. i dont have a job as im at college

[Zurich Red]

I just got a bonus of CHF 35,000 but that doesn't mean too much as Zurich is apparently the 4th most expensive city in the world (5th if you include rent because London rents are so high) (out of 71 cities in the survey).

Top 3 are Oslo, Copenhagen and Tokyo. Hong Kong 15th apaprently, but HKR may have a different opinion on that.

whats it like in zurich?

Depends what you are looking for. If you want a big city with vibrant nightlife, numerous entertainment opportunities and good shopping for the average Joe then it's a waste of time. If you want a relaxed place with high quality of life, a beautiful setting, easy access to the mountains and excellent luxury shopping - Zurich's your place.

Wouldn't spend more than half a day here as a tourist though.

i'm very surprised at that, especially considering how much my landlord stashes away each month.
i also heard that hk people are low on the earnings list too!! that is a big surprise.
but this is a place of around 1,000km and 7 million people, 70% of whom are relatively poor. the rest are very well off though and there are some super-duper fat cats in this town - nearly 300,000 millionaires...

i'm not one of them though...yet.
 

[Zurich Red]

Actually you are right HKR. Including rent Hong Kong moves up to 6th and is actually just ahead of Zurich - it's a confusing table I am looking at.

Presumably those are HK$ millionaires?

[Ben Wah Balls]

Which survey was that? I thought London was the most expensive city by far if you include rent.

[Zurich Red]

That is the same survey - published by UBS. I was quoting the list excluding rent though. Both Hong Kong and London are much more expensive if you add in the rent.
