£200k a year says she's 'struggling to get by'
husband has caused uproar after claiming they
are struggling to get by. Nisha Sharma, 45, lives in
a £700,000 house in Croydon with Ashish, 49, and
their four-year-old daughter.
‘In theory, with our household income, we
are in the top 5% of the UK population and
yet it does not feel that way,’ she told the
Financial Times.
'If you’re earning millions of pounds, then you’re
OK – and at the other end of the spectrum you get
everything paid for. We are caught in the middle
where we are paying for everything.’ One
commenter on the Financial Times' article, by the
alias Inequal7, writes:
The maths ruins the story. Gross [income] =
£200k Net annual = £130k Net monthly = £10,800
One child’s school fees = £15,000 (generous,
given her child is four) One mortgage on a £700k
house, 10% deposit at 3% = £3,000 (generous,
given interest rate is possible at 1.5%) So even
with that there is £6,600 per month left Say £600
for bills… which leaves £6,000 a month. Even in
London this is enough to live on.
Trust Twitter, users also came for the woman..
