What a word salad Spending less isn’t an income increase Tell someone on the poverty line all they need is a 4% reduction in spending to feel richer : see what they tell you  Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crowned Posted Tuesday at 09:57 Share Posted Tuesday at 09:57 Realised hadn't posted my latest - 6 percent rise took me to £90k plus a 20.5 percent bonus - pay rise was low compared to my peers (but I'm top of band) bonus was very high compared to peers. I would have liked more, but I'm very happy! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
