Thumbs up How much you make?
How much you make?

WHERE DO YOU WORK?
WHERE BOUTS?
HOW MUCH YOU MAKE? (LETS KEEP IT REAL GUYS!!!)
ARE YOU HAPPY THERE?

Me? - Patricks (now owned by Tolls)
Where? Near the docks... on the trucking side of things.. (not the wharf ...next door)
I'm on roughly 43,000 a year - minus tax and stuff.
Pretty happy there - not one to chop and change jobs, Better the devil you Know I say.

Stay tuned as if this thead takes off I might start a poll - any suggestions welcome e.g on the doll, filthy rich, or a wage bracket figure...

I work in a place with lots of trucks as a security guard, and get paid close to 50k a year for it. Too bad half my pay goes on the house and the other half on petrol.

Geez mate ive been there, worked as a clean up "B!TCH" as i called myself, only $100 bucks a week for a bit over 16 hours work when i was in year 8 and 9, but it was money in the bank...

Now i currently work as a labourer bringing home between $450 and $550 a week for two different busnesses.

But it looks like i may be moving to WA in the not too distant future for a better paying job, still what im on isn't too bad for 17. :evil3:

To afford a $40k+ car on your income is a credit to you mate... maybe you can set up a budget for me...

I don't drink...much, I don't smoke...much and I'm a shift worker - so I certainly don't have a life! I must be doing something else wrong...
