per month... any idea?

Doesn't that depend on the field of work, Isniin?

im speaking generally, bahalyaw qaloocan

what can you call a good salary for a good life..

Again, it depends on the job, whether white color or blue color.

Are you asking about an office worker, 9 - 5 or a laborer?

twist haven you had breakfast today?

the answer must be simple... regardless the type of job one has,, what is a good salary to live in US?

your question is ridiculously broad, good or bad doesn't depend entirely on income, you know what I mean. So you need to be more specific, for starters, where in the UK are we talking about, is it a part-time or full-time Job and do you have a family to support or not.


if your a Londoner £2500 is good anything above that is well good, it covers living, transport, can sustain a medium family and there is plenty left to save at least 10% of the income.

$50,000 middle class life

Mondey, seedi.

I used to live in England and familiar with the living standards. These are my two cents;

If you want to live in London (not the surburbs like Sussex, Essex etc), you don't own property and don't have a friend to give you accomodation, you need at least to make 52 000 Pounds a year. Housing is expensive; 1-2 bedroom apartments cost approximately 400 pounds a week ( almost 25000/year). Transport and utilities are expensive too. I was offered a job in the heart of London but I had to decline it (they offer London allowance but that is not enough).

There are other ways; you rent a room from a somali (who is probably living on welfare), you buy your home, get a council home or you live outside London where it will take you about an hour to commute .

In a nutshell the answer to your question is related to what kind of jobs your are looking for;

Most somalis earn 200-300/a week before tax. They can live on this because the family usually lives on welfare (social security).

Read; non skilled jobs.

White collars earn between 350-450/week.

"Good" as in sustainable? Good as in what's good for a single individual? Good as in what's good for a household? Good as in what's good for a household of five, or good as in good for a household of nine? Or good as in good?

Blitz,

You sound like a professor of mine awhile back; he hated adjectives; He will always ask; how good is good? How high is high? How nice is nice?

Like everyone said, you have to be more specific.

Depends on how much debt you have and where you live.
