You're rich if you earn £70,000 a year 00:08 - Apr 22 with 9368 views | Glyn1 | That's according to the Labour Party anyway. Apparently that puts you in the top 5 per cent of wage earners in this country. Sounds right to me but people on Radio 5 have been whinging that they get that and are just average. Struggling in fact. Any thoughts? | |

You're rich if you earn £70,000 a year on 18:47 - Apr 22 by Jackfath | I'm rich. I'm healthy and happy with my life. |
You are indeed. I knew a farmer who owned 3 very large farms in Pembrokeshire, he was a multi millionaire, he died a few years ago of farmers lung disease, he was 60. I spoke to him a week before he died and he asked me what good was all his money to him now? Without your health you have nothing. | | | |

I'm thinking your the clueless one. Of course 70K and struggle, we all do, we all struggle to get by and we all spend what we earn. Now 70K a week, now that would be different, 70K a year, as said, better than 35K but still you have to pay your bills, you don't have 1000's of spare dosh each week to splash about. 70K would give you the opportunity to buy a better house in a better area, but that would come with a bigger mortgage. Bigger income, bigger outgoing. | |

My step daughter and her husband live in North London. She is a dental hygienist at a practice in Harley Street. He is head of his IT dept in the Met Police. Their combined wage is approx £1/4M+ per annum and they have just bought an apartment near the old Highbury ground that resembles something you could get off the housing association in Swansea for £55 per week! They'd love too have kids, but afford to. So yeah, it's all relevant. Corbyn is a fvckin dinosauar! | |

We aren't talking about struggling, getting by, being well off or being comfortable. We are talking about being RICH. 70k a year does not make you rich. [Post edited 22 Apr 2017 20:31]

You're rich if you earn £70,000 a year on 20:29 - Apr 22 with 819 views | Eilian | Epic amounts of classic planet swans retarded ness here. If you earned £70k a week then you would probably just be moaning about struggling to pay for your jet and refurbishing your palace. Wealth is a matter of perception. The guy who says that his daughter can't afford to have children is another cracking example. They can 100% afford to have children. What they can't afford is to live in that particular area of London. If they moved to a cheaper area of London then earning£250k a year they could probably afford to have 42 children of they wanted. You could move to Pembrokeshire and earn £10k a year and potentially have better quality of life than someone in London earning £250k a year. So long as you were willing to go without all the materialistic nonsense. Increasing taxes on the rich is a false economy Increasing minimum wage is a false economy Living in London so that you can earn a higher wage can also be a false economy if you are not careful. | | | |

Being landed about being on 70k you may well be. But again that isn't the question. The question is would you be rich. And unless you had some hefty savings or some other income then I don't think you would be, especially if you lived in London where the majority of people on that wage and upwards will live. | |

That's pretty poor from you Flash if i'm honest. A throw away comment without having any understanding of what the thread is about. It's not about the haves and have nots, it's about Corbyn stating that people who earn £70k are rich when they quite clearly are not. | |
