However! With hopefully no fear of gold diggers massively descending on your account 
Are you a high, average, or low wage achiever?
£31,447 is apparently the median UK wage?... I'm waaay lower than this! Are you a 'medium', or bigging it up higher or lower?

"Uni education. Below average income. The story for so many of my generation. No hope of owning a home. No future in this country. I don’t think I owe this country my working life. It’s continually voted to make the lives of successive generations worse than the last. It yearns for an idealistic past that will never return. It’s deeply cynical and deeply deluded. It continues to make the lives of young working class people a daily struggle. All so the rich can buy a 16th Ferrari. 21st century Britain is a joke. " I think one’s outlook on life is a big factor in how life turns out. If you hate “the rich” then how are you meant to motivate yourself to become wealthy yourself? If you don’t allow yourself room to hope then how do you expect to improve yourself? And also how do you explain all the uni educated people who do have the things you want? I guess what I’m trying to say is that everything is within your power and if you change your outlook it’s well within you to achieve whatever you wish. Stay positive, don’t let negativity drag you down (harder said than done) and DEFINITELY don’t read online discussions and articles by people with negative outlooks. You’ll see your mood lift | |||

"I'm in the 40% tax bracket, bottom end. However, I get paid £1 more then minimum wage, I do 65+ hour weeks every week, away from home up to 4 weeks at a time, spend 5-7 nights a week sleeping in the truck, get £24 tax free extra per night for doing that so hardly worth it. Have to deal with abuse of idiots on the road, working in the 2nd most regulated industry in the UK where i can get a fine for anything, like working 15 minutes longer then I should have because I couldn't get parked one night. If I done normal ours, 37.5 a week(ish) I'd be on way less. So yeah I may be in that higher bracket, but I've got to graft for it. But I'm happy, that's the main thing, it's helping clear my debt from a drink and gambling addiction caused from a mental breakdown and it's put me back on track in life.

"People bragging about not paying tax gives me the ick
Do you mean not paying tax on earnings, ie breaking the law?"Seems it’s fine for tradesmen and others to break the law and not pay tax or VAT, Everyone I’ve ever dealt with prefers cash and no receipts or VAT. Same with all the new self employed, the grey economy in the UK, starving the NHS, stealing from it, while complaining about it. But when wealthily people legally reduce tax they are critised. I think there’s a bit of hypocrisy there. I pay 45% on UK income & don’t even qualify for a personal allowance . I’m not happy about it, it’s crap value for money , mostly wasted by incompetent MP’s on wokery pokery. | |||

"What all those people don’t realise is that it only takes one disgruntled client or neighbour to make that call and they will not have a clue what is hit them. Once they decide they are interested in you your life becomes Hell, They will go back to Years & Years, They will calculate based on what the worst case scenario is and then it’s up to you to start proving expenses and tax deductible, And if you don’t pay on time they will find you at interest and ultimately send you to prison.

None of you can sit on the moral high ground. Just because you earn PAYE, it doesn't mean the organisation with which your working for, isn't (shall we say) embellishing taxable expidture rules."We actually can sit on the moral high ground because we, personally, are not trying to evade, avoid or dodge tax.

"People bragging about not paying tax gives me the ick
Do you mean not paying tax on earnings, ie breaking the law?
Seems it’s fine for tradesmen and others to break the law and not pay tax or VAT, Everyone I’ve ever dealt with prefers cash and no receipts or VAT. Same with all the new self employed, the grey economy in the UK, starving the NHS, stealing from it, while complaining about it.
But when wealthily people legally reduce tax they are critised. I think there’s a bit of hypocrisy there.
I pay 45% on UK income & don’t even qualify for a personal allowance . I’m not happy about it, it’s crap value for money , mostly wasted by incompetent MP’s on wokery pokery.
Tax dodging annoys me. Not necessarily the act, more so the hypocrisy of it. It seems those who dodge tax the most are also the people who are most vocal about the country, the government and services.
You say dodging some say avoidance

There are rules to follow, they are not difficult to understand. There is very little wiggle room before materiality kicks in | |||

" What all those people don’t realise is that it only takes one disgruntled client or neighbour to make that call and they will not have a clue what is hit them. Once they decide they are interested in you your life becomes Hell, They will go back to Years & Years, They will calculate based on what the worst case scenario is and then it’s up to you to start proving expenses and tax deductible, And if you don’t pay on time they will find you at interest and ultimately send you to prison. I sleep very well at night knowing my accountant does everything by the book" I know of 3 people who have been financially ruined by IR35 investigations as a result of their dodgy practices. Due to association with one of them working for me briefly I was also investigated. Thankfully I have a good accountant and I also sleep well knowing I do it all by the books and pay what I owe. Not worth it for what is not really a huge amount saved in dividend tax. | |||

"I’m not going to lie, I’m not going to big myself up, I’m probably in the lower 10%. Life is for living, not working. I pay my way, only debt is mortgage, only benefit we claim in child benefit (which has always been invested in a child isa), we still have a nice car, 2 holidays a year and I work as little as I can get away with, haven’t and won’t do over time in over 10 years and never been happier. Don’t need money to be happy." 100% this! I was earning well into the 40% bracket,5-6 days a week and now I do 3…that’s it Money is amazing to have and I understand that You can always earn more money, but you know what you can’t earn?….time….my time is more precious than money to me

I recently read die with zero and figured I have made enough. The problem is when you earn a lot you feel like you lose a lot of you stop but time is way more precious than money | |||

"I see lots of comments saying that working less and having a lower income is correlated to being happier. My personal experience is that the more monetary wealth I have accumulated, the more time I've bought myself. I've always thought everybody's goal is to earn more money by working less but I stand corrected! " More and more people are realising what time is more important than money. Sure being poor I’m not having enough for your needs, or being in debt, makes you very unhappy no one would dispute that. But once you have enough , and no debts, there are huge diminishing returns regarding more money to more happiness, If anything more money brings more unhappiness and pressure for many. | |||
