“The gardener used to come twice a month, but then he increased his costs from £230 a year to £245 a year. We only have him come once every other month now.”
I find it hard to believe a household with a combined salary (No bonus included) of £345k can’t scrape together an extra 15 quid.
Get the feeling this was deleted because they realised it was utter bollocks, though that’s not much better as they allowed it through.
Look, here’s a thing. 40% of all land in England is owned just by around 200 families. And they are laughing their arses off when they hear that peasants earning £181k per annum are rich.
So? A lot of people dont have PAYE income, they still have income. What point are you trying to make? Are you trying to argue that £181k doesnt put you in the top 1%?
His point is the only really rich people are the fantastical ones in his mind and are cartoonishly rich instead of just real life rich cause it’s easier to draw a dividing line and come to an answer.
Do you understand that your logic doesn’t make any sense? First of all, half of their income goes into taxes. Second - they still need to spend money on bills, food, etc. So it will take them a lot more than 30 years to get to £10m. They won’t live as long.
You’re also confusing top earning workers with the rich.
I’m not sure there is actually a proper definition of ‘rich’ that would allow you to accurately classify a group of incomes into rich and not rich.
But if you were to think of it in terms of the ‘feeling’ I’d say I’d feel rich if I never had to choose a cheaper option for anything at all, ever, could eat out and check into a hotel for the night any time I liked, all whilst currently putting away a handsome investment of some kind - but still have more disposable income than I could possible waste between income periods with nothing but my own debauchery (barring expensive drug habits).
That’s what I call rich - basically never having to worry about your supply of money, thing is, some people can achieve this on much less than others due to their tastes and circumstances. I’d feel rich if I worked 9-5 and took home upwards of £300k for sure. Others might not though.
That’s all well and makes sense to me, but the person I was questioning stated that $350k+/year is not rich. All of those boxes you mentioned could be ticked way lower than that, and this is nearly 10x the median salary of the UK. That roughly means this family has the ability to spend 8x the median individual and still save/invest 2x their salary per year.
I think most people would see that as ultra rich or super rich. To most people “rich” means having significantly more money than them. So given that the median salary in the UK is £37k, most people would probably say someone on £80k is rich, even though its pretty easy to earn that much and still want for more.

That’s really not good wages for twice a month, is it?

depends, how much weed does he get for it?
Lifestyle sacrifices are news for the rich. Luckily there aren’t enough to support this kind of journalism.
A household with £345k income is not rich, lol.
A household with that income is very rich.
Jesus, toffs are so separated from reality it’s unbelievable.
No, it’s not.
Some folks barley scraping by need to throw your ass to the ground and just beat the fuck out of you for saying such stupid shit.
I swear, every day rich folk are becoming increasingly more unbelievable.
Ahaha, ok.
£181k is all you need to be in the top 1% in the UK.
one day I might earn that much in a year.
Top 1% workers, not top rich.
Look, here’s a thing. 40% of all land in England is owned just by around 200 families. And they are laughing their arses off when they hear that peasants earning £181k per annum are rich.
Top 1% of income from all sources which includes your 200 mega rich families. 1% of 70m people is 700k people. Of course the top 0.1% are way richer.
No, these 200 families don’t have PAYE income at all. Man, you people are so ignorant… No wonder the rich play you like the fools.
So? A lot of people dont have PAYE income, they still have income. What point are you trying to make? Are you trying to argue that £181k doesnt put you in the top 1%?

Wtf are you talking about? You must be a billionaire.
This family earns more than the value of my house in a year.
If they carry on earning this and work for 30 years they will have amassed a fortune of £10m.
It also puts the family in the top 0.5% of earners in the country.
I think that makes them fairly rich.

Depends who you ask
Anyone you ask.
Global indexes are scraping the ground against those numbers, I can tell you for sure they’re 1%.
1% of what? Lol. Please don’t confuse high earning workers with the rich.
It’s one banana, Michael, how much could it cost? 10 dollars?
Wut?
By what metric? Where would you define rich?

The rich don’t work and don’t have income.
What does this mean? By this metric, the wealthiest person in the world is not considered rich. Elon Musk both works and has an income.
His wealth doesn’t come from his income. His salary doesn’t mean shit to him.
His investments and stocks do provide income (although not a salary). Regardless, my earlier statement still stands.
No, it doesn’t.
