It's crazy how much people's salaries can differ when they're doing the same job / are at the same level I work in HR, so see this information first hand Just know- there's always budget for a pay rise or retention bonus- always

I dont worry about not enough money i stress about making more
Comment from : @petergama6074

I earn £94,100 per year, last year I was paid a £10k bonus on top of that Is that a lot? I don’t know but what I do know is at 43 years old having worked since 16 years of age i don’t think I’ll ever be content with my earnings I feel a never ending urge to earn more Wish I didn’t tbh

How are people able to afford buying houses and feeding a family when they earn less than £40K a year in London? The numbers seem off
Comment from : @markthompson1439

Those videos was great until you said there was a gender pay gap

Pay for work is absolute rubbish to be able to live comfortably and save you now by yourself you need £4-5k thats a simple fact
Comment from : @jackwardley3626

I earned £108k last year and I’m 33 Live in the midland I don’t feel rich at all but i know i am definitely a LOT better off than most But like in your other video how it all depends on who you surround yourself with
Comment from : @auricgoldfinger8249

What is troubling is the amount of people that are trapped in renting and have no way of servicing the rent when they hit retirement age

You cannot be punished for talking about your salary, it's actually Illegal under UK law

“The truth is we all worry about money”, having just given stats which show that isn’t the case 🤦‍♂️
Comment from : @winterwatch8500

People shouldn't give a toss If you're content, happy, treated well and are able to support yourself and your family That's all that matters

8:40 Inflation is a double-edged sword as opposed to our "friend" in your example Sure, the increase in our cost of living, derived from higher prices in the goods and services we consume, is a good opportunity to demand a higher wage Such that, higher wages would help workers battle the increase in price for the many non-neogitable purchases we make in our day to day lives However, the issue is deeper than this analogy Inflationary pressures are first present from an increase in producer costs, increase in commodity prices, money supply, etc Now, assuming higher producer costs are passed onto the consumer, the ordinary person would begin to feel these pressures Demanding a higher wage to tackle these pressures is an easy cop-out, such that it only elevates the issue in the short-term and has more profound long-term implications For example, demanding higher wages, and subsequently receiving such an increase, would also increase the costs to the producer Such costs would ultimately be passed onto the consumer again, creating a vicious cycle of growing inflation Inflation increases -> Workers recieve higher wages -> Firm(s) increase prices to combat higher wage costs -> Inflation increases brbrNote: I'm an undergraduate economics student, I'm still learning so if this comment doesn't make sense conceptually please correct me

Comment from : @killagamez4619

When I left uni with a business degree I couldn't get a job, left London and survived building websites and doing digital work, got my first break at 30k in 2019 and this year I've reached 75k living in the southwest and working from home So many people struggle to get an opportunity, but once I got it I ran with it

I'm 24 and I work in tech, didn't go to Uni Switch jobs every 2 -3 years and so far I've managed to get a salery of around 60k a year, not a bad strat if anyone's interested

It's not about much money you earn, it's how much time you have!

23 - £40k - Property Consultantbr Didn't go to university, if you are a good people person and are competitive by nature I would recommend working in Property brbrLook for a basic trainee Letting role, and once you have experience move to sales brbrThe more you learn the market and network you can climb up the heiracy extremely fast
Comment from : @muhammadyousaf6203

I'm surprised that, when you talk about being discouraged from discussing your own salary at the start, you don't also point out that it is completely illegal for any employer to discourage the discussion of pay/salary or reprimand you for any such discussion, especially if it takes place outside of contracted work hours Too many people get paid less because they won't discuss salary with their coworkers
Comment from : @dinnydorf

I'm nervous about watching this vid, probably underselling myself but competition is tough, and I need to earn something

This is a stupid concept for a video, let’s just make everyone feel bad

Comment from : @DC3Refom

Try to be a third better If the average credit score in your area is 600, shoot for 780 If the average house is costing 600k in your area, try to get one for 450k If the average deposit is 20 percent, try to put down 26 Or if the average deposit is 60k, shoot for 80k Average salary at your age is 20k, try to get 26k You can do this for savings, expenses, income, investments etc etc etc a simple rule to get you wealthier and allow you to pass on more to the next generation Good luck everybody

Comment from : @anishadheen4716

Since 2017 I've gone from £18k to £28k to £41k, all in the same company with just one promotion but various pay rises including one of 10k this year, taking me from being slightly underpaid to overpaid for my role and responsibilities

There'll continue to be a gender pay gap until men start having babies 🙄

26, living just outside Manchester and earning £55,000 Feel so blessed
Comment from : @NoContextRDH

What I find shocking is that even if you earn above the national average for your age between inflation and social media it doesn’t feel like it Either way this video made me happy I chose cyber security at age 19 😢 In 5/6 years I went from £9k (apprentice) to £50k as he mentioned the industry you chose dictates your ceiling
Comment from : @ShizzleGaming14

2:07 only about a decade ago, every job advert started the salary range the role offered Now, virtually no hint is given, so businesses can get away paying the minimum they can get away with My last employer used to claim their pay was fair because they are validated by a 3rd party bureau Except the job descriptions would say your job involved task x, but everyone did x, y, z, a, b and c So everyone was actually under paid for what they do
Comment from : @bigboldbicycle

For the past 30 years, I've used a simple rule: you should be earning 1,000 x your age, or more up to age of 65 at which point if you've done all the right things, you'll have no mortgage and will be ready to retire (The best way to boost your salary is to change jobs every few years, unless you work at a business that pays above inflation pay rises)

I’m 25 and have gone from £28,000 to £50,500 since graduating in 2020 I have moved around a lot and have had about 4 different employers within this time
Comment from : @JP-zd2wl

As someone who is now a high earner, I can tell you life does not get any better after about 50K per year No so coincidentally about the high tax banding
Comment from : @sirianofmorley

Feeling pretty good about myself now 😎

I do wish you wouldn’t use the term “gender pay gap” When you yourself follow the statement with “there’s reasons for it”

This guys outlook is so healthy He should be proud of how he’s handled such a personal subject with compassion and pragmatismbrbrThe reality is a 21 year old with no debt has a gift in their hands Hang on to the fact you have no debt, and build savings, even if they seem small to you
Comment from : @Nolascoview

Congratulations on making really accessible, informative and amusing videos Most people don't seem to have this support from friends or family and definitely need it
Comment from : @karmanline2005

Would be interesting to see how this last year’s pay increases has affected things one year on…
Comment from : @rustyshackleford5496

Typical that the data talking about UK average wages and data of any kind, doesn’t include anything with regards to Scotland, wales and NI
Comment from : @iknowrstank

I'm in my 40s and I never imagined I'd be on a 6 figure salary However, I come from Europe and we talk openly about salaries - it's not a big deal to us When I moved to UK people seemed quite shocked when this topic came up

Updated video on this would be great!
Comment from : @goldengoose7492

Damien if I’m 20, how much would I have to earn to be in the top 1 of earners for my age group?
Comment from : @danielbaxter3508

I had been told you should be earning per annum (perfectly) equally to your age number so 33 years old, 33k per annum would be good

Comment from : @declanmcardle

Remember to negotiate during an interviews I graduate this year and was able to push my base starting pay from £25k to £30k without a masters None of my peers did so and offered £25 to £28k (with masters)
Comment from : @Zenfrog

This makes me feel so much better about my career choices It's so easy to watch too much content that makes it seem like everyone is earning 100k and as a man on the internet there is so much pressure to earn loads and it gives me alot of anxiety about my path I'm currently a Gardener Aiming to become a Head Gardener for a private estate one day which will earn me about 30,000 - 40,000
Comment from : @petereames3041

In today’s world I always go by same salary as your age 25k by 25, 30k by 30 etc
Comment from : @GBLyrics

Nireland is typically a low wage economy compared with the rest of the UK, so cost of living rises are being felt sharply here hence the large swing in wage increases I have recently been forced to look for a new job being at risk of redundancy and was surprised how busy the job market is and managed to find an advantage of the situation I found myself in Test the market folks
Comment from : @glennsheppard3320

I live in the North, I'm 27 years old and make 50k a year And all I do is help build static caravans, yeah it's a skilled job, but I never went to uni, and failed most things in school Now I have a mortgage on a three bed house, own a £15k car outright, and my monthly outgoings are only £611 a month I put away £1500 a month into savings Sometimes I dont know if I just got lucky but it does show that there are jobs out there that you dont need to have a higher education for that do pay good money
