Show me the money!

Note - the figures in question 3 are _gross_ income, before tax.
Also - if you earn more than £49k then tick the £49k box.
[Poll #1429637]

Those figures are the income percentiles for the fully employed UK workers, which you can get from here. If you're in the second group (£312 a week) then at least 10% of the population earn less than you, if you're in the third group then at least 20% of the population earns less than you. If you're in the first group then your life sucks.

Yeah, I figured you wanted people's impressions, but it would be interesting to hear what they considered to be involved in each wooly term - your earlier post was all about how many people are doing very well compared to the median but don't consider themselves to be very well off, but it could be that we all have completely different ideas about what very well off is.

There was a bit of discussion further down about reaching a point in your life where you'd rather have more time rather than more money - and at that point re-evaluating your income/career/etc. is important, I think. And that's the point where "Well Off" seems to go asymptotic, because what you need for the next level of wealth up is rather more than you've currently been earning.
