How much € per week would you give up work for?

Say for instance there was no mortgage involved, just utility bills and you were haggling a weekly income not to work ever again, and the granter of this stipend was trying to haggle downwards, what would you settle for to cover shopping, occasional piss ups, bills etc.

I reckon €250-€300 per week would be ok, ( rising with inflation ), one could budget themselves on this.

Macavity.

Are we allowed to take up another job?

500 index linked to inflation (if we ever see that animal again)

I'd be bored as hell without work. It'd be have to be nearer 1000 a week for me.

About a grand a week sounds about right. I would crack up without some kind of work to do. But with a grand a week in readies coming in, that would give me something to be at.

I don't want money, a bag of coke and a gaggle of whores will do fine.

Depends at what cross roads i am at and where that car is coming from.

A grand a week taxfree and I'd struggle by.

So..... where do I sign up anyway?

Well, I did it for a net 3500 a month and I'm surviving nicely - there was a considerable lump sum at the time as well but I haven't had to touch that. I take 2 holidays a year and change the car every 2 years so you could probably survive on less.

Whatever the equivalent to $3,000 a week is

Have you a post 08 to get the small tax on the car?

hmmm what do I have to do for this 'free' money???

About 700 a week and I'd consider it, as others have said themselves, I'd go insane without something to occupy me, I wouldn't want to simply scrape by and spend all day sitting in with nothing to do, I'd need enough cash that I could do pretty much anything I want and keep myself occupied, and even then, I'd probably end up taking up some kind of voluntary work.

A 131 BMW. Not site if that's what you mean.

Wow the amount of folks saying around a grand a week net with all bills etc paid is astonishing. That's around 75k a year gross I reckon with no bills. Well over average industrial wage.

Would love to know how many of them have been telling everyone that 60-100k is loaded in the regular tax the rich threads on AH

Edit: bills but no mortgage/ rent

I wouldn't give up work at all. I'd get bored quickly with not much to do outside of the house. There's only so much traveling and going out you can do before it becomes a bit much.

Seriously? I want to write a book or two, so if you could cover all bills and add €100 a week, I'd be in like a shot.
