Living on a low salary

6:05

is the

6:05

bare minimum would you say that is a

6:08

sustainable amount of money to live in

6:10

UK or specifically London maybe I would

6:13

say in London it's pushing it it's just

6:16

just about maybe scrape by but I'm

6:17

living at home for a year first so

6:21

clever parents are giving the thumbs

6:24

up okay so then what would you think

6:26

would be an acceptable uh wage to live

6:29

and survive in London and have like

6:30

enjoy a nice life

6:33

um I think 40,000 a year as a single

6:36

person you can live a reasonable life

6:39

but that probably wouldn't be enough to

6:41

get you on the housing ladder or save

6:42

much of the future or anything like that

6:45

uh I think around that value yeah around

6:47

40K is what what you'd be looking for

6:49

for like a kind of nice life and uh yeah

6:52

buying buying things that you want I

6:53

guess if you're coming to become a

6:55

teacher your starting salary is going to

6:57

be mid 20 grand so mid 20s probably for

7:01

for starting out as a newly qualified

7:04

teacher and I've been teaching for 20 OD

7:07

years so um yeah I mean you need to look

7:10

for something that is going to give you

7:13

a good salary so that you can enjoy

7:15

living by the Sea how how much would you

7:18

say would
