Im a solution architect / business development consultant for one of the world's largest IT companies..

as for debt its true the more you earn, the more you have debt.. the more you borrow.. last count i had over 2.5 million in loans haha..

Amen to that - some of my 'richest' clients have (or at least, claim they have) no money. Much of it is paying off debt or their wealth is simply tied up in non-cash assets.

Gotta say its a surprising poll I didnt think it would be both ends of the spectrum's like it is, I thought it would be mostly round the middle..

Currently earning aprox $1800 p/w week working an honest 13.5 hours a day 9 days a fortnight. I get payed for my time off so that reduces the agony of being payed 8 hours a day when working 13.5...... Staff contacts 50% FTW 50%FTL. Once you sign a staff contract the company owns you.

This thread got me thinking about my younger days when i was sub contracting. earning $800+ for a 12hour shift working 3 and 1. Damn i had a good time but had nothing to show for it. When i "retired" to perth I was earning $29.50 an hour working 10hour days and achieved more than when i was earning the big $'s.

Like others have said it not really about want you earn its about what you do with it. But i gotta admit is nice to pay the mortgage on a brand new house from 1 fortnights pay and have $'s left over...

If anyone is in the trade/service industry I'm sure your in the same boat as me with the current economic climate.

Revenue seems to be drop, drop, dropping each week.

I seem to be loosing a contract each week... bloddy depressing!

[R-SPEC]

I'm not telling what I earn but the tax man rapes me $50,000 a year!!!!

[discostig]

OMFG up to 15 in the 2k+ bracket!

I take home a bit over 600 after tax, for 4 days fun work (34 hours). I wish I had more money since I'm pretty broke right now, but life isn't just about the dosh and I have fun so can't complain. Hell I (well, the bank for another 4.5 years) own my dream car and love it to bits, I'm in a nice house which I share with mates. Could be far worse, like I could live in Rocko or Kwinarnia (get there through a walk in tool cabinet in the garage) HAHAHA

ROFL, sounds like a quick truck and quick fleet of 8 turbos hahaha

I tell you the fleet maintenance seems to have jumped over the last 12 months. Mate even the Toyota echo has had a tune and some injectors.
