i was talking about this recently and i think i worked out i would need to do yearly around 35 - 40 hours overtime just to cover all recent living costs going up ( energy been biggest ), and thats before the council ramp up there tax... i dont have to or need to do the overtime i was just getting annoyed at the fact i can either do it or take what seems a decent pay cut. is everybody else just sucking up the costs or will you be putting in overtime to take up the costs?
overtime just to cover living costs
- Thread starter ozaudio
- Start date
so there for if that was me, id have to do a week of 35- 40 hours for no extra money for my self from that 40 hours, i guess it also depends on what you are getting per hr for overtime, this tax year i will be around 10k ish in overtime and bonus up over a normal wage. but once the energy goes up again along with fuel prices, so will the price of supermarket food, again adding to the overall cost
im no were near the poverty line, i am currently renting, my rent is up a few quid a month so lucky there, i think around £5 a month it went up haha. i am pretty good with money tbh. i have my side hussle aswell as my main job and ive saved a lot towards buying a house but prices have shot up!
£80 cash for doing a cambelt today , £40 a couple of days ago to replace engine mounts, tomorrow i have some rear brakes in a skoda , clutch on a renault if hes not already had it done, yada yada, it all helps
ye i was happy with £80, only took just under 2 hours and that was with dealing with stripped engine mounts from the last guy who just smashed the bolts back in with an impact .
after nipping to the fuel station and iceland it reminded me of this thread, £1.70L and £60 in iceland which really didnt get much food. cant wait for april..... i understand if your a high earner you can suck it up.
