Hmm, assuming that it's pre-tax I could pay commited expenses and be left with £100 a month for all other expenses including transport (I'd have to sell my car most likely otherwise close to half that would go on insurance and surviving on £1.60 a day disposable income would be leagues worse than £3.20), food, entertainment and whatever else
You know what, I think I'll take the other half of my income that the taxman doesn't get (so 40 or so % of my actual income when you consider student loan payment thresholds and tax free allowances) and enjoy it myself rather than only being able to dream about it...
I think I'm quite lucky that I could (only marginally) survive if my salary was half what it is, but wtf, did you mean half your disposable income or did you just not think it through?
I thought it through. There was a question earlier about making clones that could sync memories. I just reframed the question.
