    I live in the UK, and the average wage is £22,000 which is around $30,000.

    Most of it goes on electricity, income tax and other services though. They charge US TOO MUCH.

    I think he lives in the country of Liverpool.

    Is a poll the right thing for this? I have already cast my poll input so no one else needs to partcipate from the US now.

    Both of you need to vote, unless your both from Liverpool in Paradise. :)

    Would that it be so. £22,000 is around $41,500. I wish the rate was as you said, as my US income would easily pay for the new car I'm looking for here in Manchester :)

    Besides, we can all supplement our incomes by claiming for an accident in the last three years at work, at home or on the road - without needing to go to court! We can all get cheques for £7,500. What an age we live in.

    Sorry for the confusion. I voted wrong as well because i didnt see the dollar sign until it was too late.

    Thanks for correcting me mate.

    That exchange rate causes me sharp pains every time I get paid by a client in the US. It seems like so much in dollars, but by the time it lands in my Paypal account (minus their enormous commission) I'm left with a pathetic figure. Bah.

    Wow, I live in South Africa and I reckon the average salary (only including people working, not the 40% unemployed) is about $450 a month

    I heard America is $65 000, that's awesome

    I'd happily take a 50% pay cut if I could live in St Kilda :) There's a lot of good memories in that crazy little suburb.

    The average London salary is £34,777, that's around $65,000
    But then it does cost about six times that to buy even a small house here
