Is a 6.5 pounds per hour salary be enough to live in uk?

Question

will it be enough to cover my expenses per month on housing food, etc? and can i save some for myself?

Answer 1

it depends, you dont say whether you are running a car, have a morgage or kids, if you dont then yes it is plenty as long as you dont live in london.

Answer 2

Depends on many factors, such as what part of the country, how many hours worked, and lifestyle. You will not find it easy! Unlikely that you can save anything.......

Answer 3

what? i think you need help if your gaining 6.5 poundds an hour. no don't save any for yourself.

Answer 4

Hi,depending where you live in the UK you will be able to manage but its not a good wage.

Answer 6

Answer 7

you can find cheap rental shares at www.gumtree.com and www.spareroom.co.uk and shop at asda or tesco when they do the reductions. www.moneysavingexpert.com has great money saving tips recommended by BBC Radio 2 and run by Martin Lewis. Save money on phone calls at www.saynoto0870.com and get geographical alternatives to expensive 0870 and 0845/0844 numbers.

Answer 8

If your taxed at normal rate, your take home would be £160 a week, I don't know where you will get private rental for any less.

Answer 9

Not if you want to live in London.

Answer 10

you probably take home £210 for a 40 hour week after tax so you won't get much out of that a week to save unless you don't go out
