I would swap jobs with you sadly 18k before tax wouldn't pay the rent on my 2 bedroom, living room barely large enough for the sofas and kitchen, no dining room, maisonette.

If you've a problem with the amount of money you make maybe your time would be better spent doing something to increase this rather than complaining about those with higher incomes, many of whom would have come from low paid homes and worked their way to where they are now.

Just a friendly suggestion from someone who at one point was doing 17-18 hour days door to door to get to this apparently super-wealthy 44k mark.

You're obviously not that impoverished and in need of welfare from the state on your 18k/year if you can afford 50Mbit, 2 V+ boxes, etc, so you get my point about it being about more than incomes.
I have never read such an obnoxious post in my life ,not for the first time have you bragged about your lifestyle and money .You have been lucky others including myself have had to take cuts in wages to remain in work ,i suggest you get back on planet earth with the rest of us lowly under 30k proles .My earnings have been upto 47k untill 2 years ago now they are down to 26k at best ,my wife works on minimum wage wearas previously she didn't need to how would you suggest anybody just increases their income ,i already do 12-13 hours a day
