"Most shop assistants I come across are on min wage or a bit more."
My daughter (31) is a bakery assistant in the local supermarket and her top line (inc unsocial hours) was £14,600 last year; after tax/NI, it was £12,900. She lives at home still, and is saving everything to buy a small house ..... with our help. The idea is that without a mortgage, she would be able to pay the rest of her living costs, even on a small wage ...... we are thinking of a time when my wife & I turn our toes up.
