I want to know the average income for an English between 20 - 35 yo. monthly or annual. And also the average cost of life.\nThanks

Unfortunately, there is not data for that age range in particular. In 2005, 18-21 year olds made an average of £9,410, 22-29 year olds made £19,104, and 30-39 year olds made £25,712 per year. Coming up with an amount of how much it costs to live is somewhat more difficult. See the site below for the Consumer Price Index.

I've been on holiday to Malta, many people speak English as their first or second language, you will have no problems being understood. The cost of living, is reasonable, but bear in mind it is a tourist destination, so some places are quite expensive.

I second Naj. Yeah, the US dollar is worth about $65+ Jamaican, but having US$100 in your pocket won't make you rich in Jamaica. Your quality of life is going to depend on a mess of other things like where in Jamaica you live, inflation, interest rates, etc. A few years back, I was working in Kingston when the US dollar was worth $42 Jamaican, my salary was the equivalent of US$1000 per month, and that was a livable wage for me as a single person. If I were earning that same salary now, I would have a completely different experience. As I said, I depends on many more things than just exchange rates.

First of all adulthood shouldn't be defined by a job you have, or the income you make.\n   If you in fact have a college education then perhaps you need to take reasonable risks and look for other employment.\n   $30,000 a year happens to be way above poverty level, or even most class median incomes. \n   Another change you might make is in location. If you are unhappy where you are, in what you're doing, taking a moderate risk in relocating, seeking employment elsewhere, and making an effort to find what it is that might cause you more happiness, seems to be a better course for you than the one you're on.\n    Finally, and meaning no offense; perhaps your sights are set too high at the moment? It's possible to be happy on less, and have a family, and in another location, with whatever education you have (unstated) you may find a comfortable lifestyle? 24 is young by my standards, and life is long so pace yourself.\n    I'd try looking into employment that fits your education, perhaps in another location. Monitor spending within reason. Save any amount of money you can, for such time when you are more stable and ready to take on a family or greater responsibilities, and heed this,,,"you're only young once, but can be immature forever."\n    A tired old saying,,,"Just do it."\n\nRev.

A LOT of things would determine this.\n\nSome people could live on $35,000 a year, some need $75,000 in today's dollars.  It also depends on what type of pension or social security you will be receiving.  Do you have any savings?  Also, at what age do you want to retire, expected life span?  \n\nI don't know anything about you by your question, but here are some numbers I ran yesterday for a 27y.o. wanting to retire at 40.  These were just quick estimates.\n\n\nIdeally, if you retire at 40 and live another 40 years, can obtain a 7% rate of return, and need $40,000 a year for the 40 years in retirement, you need to have a little more than $500,000 in savings by the time you are 40 years old.\n\nYou can reach this $500,000 if you save about $27,000 a year for the next 13 years, given a 7% rate of return. \n\nDepending on your salary, this may be obtainable but you have a lot of work to do since you have basically no savings. Also, I used 7% because thats the average rate of return in the stock market but depending on your investments, it may be more or less. I would take full advantage of your TSP (401k) because all that matching the gov't does will really pay off. Also, it may be tough, but buy very few "wants" and try to stick to spending money on "needs." People usually think it is impossible, but it really isn't. Also, I'm sure you'll want a home at some point and you have to take that into consideration as well. Good luck

I'd move to the uk where they speak English, and travel the world based from there.  Travel is so much cheaper there than in North America, gotta make that million last.

About 300 euro / month (shared)\n\nYou can expect to make anywhere from 1100-1400 euro base from what friends tell me...I have heard some who make as low as 700 euro/month, though...ouch!\n\nI hope you can do better.

Looking at your answers so far, mine might be a bit generous, but I got the accountant who sits by me to work it out - so here goes:\n\n£5,035 is not taxed (this has recently gone up)\n£2,150 is taxed at 10% (£215)\n£11,815 is then taxed at 22% (£2,599)\n\nThat means that £2,814 is deducted each year, leaving you with £ 16,186 which is £1,349 per calendar month take home pay.

Welcome to Canada!  Be careful.  You might be jumping into FIRE.  Visit our Canadian websites and view the immigration requirements.  Yes!  You have to live here for three long  years before you become a citizen.  Jobs!  what's your qualification.  Are you self employed?  Which province are you considering?  Our country is very clean,  beautiful indeed, but like everyone else, we have our share of problems:  politically, economically, socially, in fact all the allys (allies) you can think of.  Please think carefully, we have the same tax problem.  Eg, 15% on good and services.  Does that sounds real?  Are  you willing to pay that much?  One decent bedroom apartment can run you from $799 upwards.  The reality is, you can run but you can't hide.  Tax is everywhere.

I would say you are doing above average.  However average is unfortunately inadequate for the retirement that many would like to live.  Especially with Social Security being on such a shaky foundation.\n\nHowever it seems that you guys are doing pretty well.  Try using a savings calculator on ChooseToSave to make sure you are on the right track.

I realise that you have a good job but maybe you need more exposure to life? My son went off to live and work in Germany when he was 18. He has been working as an au pair for a nice family. He teaches English at a local school and, in return, he gets university tuition. When he comes back to England, he will be going off to university. I do give him limited financial support (as does his dad) but he knows if he wants luxuries, it is up to him to get another job to be able to afford these. \n\nHe is due home for good in 8 weeks and working abroad (and taking care of himself) has been great for him, in terms of forcing him to grow up and think about things as an adult. I cannot believe how much he has changed! I know your job is good but think about how you might be able to get more life experience. If you live at home with your mom, try to find an apartment for yourself. Take care of your own laundry, shopping and cooking. Worry about your own bills. Even if it doesn't work out (do everything in your power to make it work!) you will gain valuable life experience through doing this and it can only benefit you in the long run.

it does depend on the area, how many years they have worked and their level but its roughly between £23,000 and £50,000

Really, its up to you. Take from me as a friend: if at your age, you don't know "what you really want", then you're in serious trouble! You and YOU alone can answer that question. The right question to ask is "How much do i want to earn at the age of 28?" and then plan your life and work towards it. I'll recommend you visit this website http://www.tonyrobbins.com

The answer above mine has alot of good information.  To simplify it, average income would be around $50,000 per year to start.  Variance would depend upon industry and location.  Some states have higher living expenses than others.

If you are looking at migrating to English speaking countries, you'll have a better chance if you read and write better English!\n\nIt would be to your benefit as well because it will be easier for you to integrate and easier to find a living.

Most places base how much they'd offer on 3.5 or 3.75 times your joint income, or similar. So for that amount, borrowing around 110k, over 27k per year between the two of you.\n\nYour best bet is to talk to an independant financial advisor - I'd recommend London and Country, but there are other good ones. There's loads of info on all kinds of financial stuff, including mortgages, at the website:  www.moneysavingexpert.com\n\nGood luck (we get our keys tomorrow and it's just as stressful as you've heard...)
