Net income?

I'm curious (also little to do with my homework) about net income of V3M members that actually has 300
Feel free to input answer anonymously.
Of course you can reply how much you spend to 300 in year or so too, but I think we had somewhere discussion about that previously?

I'm an electronics designer during the week, plus I drive a taxi as a paid hobby during the weekend (night shifts). So you can imagine, throwing a few hundred euros per month into a car hobby isn't a problem, especially when my wife works as a teacher and actually makes more money than me

But the 340's been quite cheap to maintain so far, because I haven't had to buy any of the bigger / more complex / more rare parts yet, just lots of small stuff. (I hate to admit but the VW Passat had even lower maintenance costs, not to mention fuel consumption, but it isn't as nice to drive!)

When I finally leave the land of dossing (if only it actually was...) I'll be on some more pennies, not for a while though

I voted in the $3-4K a month, but mine is in aussie dollars, so it's about 50 of your pounds i think.

Donate to the "Chris has a rally coming up on Thursday and really has broken Fake this time" fund, especially set up to help poor students (who really should have learnt to go out into the real world by now!)

Or donate to the "buy MJ a winter beater so the 340 can stay in the garage when it rains" foundation

If you earn 1000€ net per month, you will have perhaps little bit money that you can save after spending some on car, if you earn 4500€ net per month, your situation is not any better really
There was 3 days when I was at home at September, so my income is bit over average, but it seems expenses has gone up even more than income and I don't have much of any spare time, not so good.
Good I have set home into my satnav, would be difficult to remember where it is otherwise
I'm surprised there are people who earn so much in here, my guess was from mid range towards lower end of scale as car is cheap for students that can fix their rides
€ resembles EURO currency next to those numbers, not Aussie dollars

I believe it must be some sort of conspiracy
I remember when I did earn around 500 euros month net, I had more money to spend on computer hardware than I had when I did earn 4000 euros per month, it is silly how big part of income increase is gone to all required expenses, travelling, clothing, eating and such.
15-20€ per day for eating alone.
But perhaps there is money dwarfs on somewhere hiding our hard work earned euros?

We have surprisingly many members from middle to high income level, no wonder there is many projects that waits to be completed too, time issues anyone?
