Peer comparison: Anonymous salary poll

[divernick]

Yes we are...

 

Edit: Swoosh!

 

Bwahahaha

[Octavian]

See the poll is showing a non-normal distribution, with outliers in the plus R100 000 bracket. Possibly an indication of corrupted (i.e. We have liars amongst us) data.

Gross income is no indicator of spare cash to spend on bikes. That is better answered by the questions:

 

1. Are you married?

2. Do you have kids?

 

If the answer to 1 and 2 is yes, the answer is 'Shem.'

 

In that case you should go for household income I think .

Over 90K a month???? Fark me - I can only dream of a package like that.

[SwissVan]

Should I convert into ZARS using todays roe or last weeks?

100%. Kids more than marriage. Marriage = dual income. Kids = high expenditure. Between government and kids, the best lube would be any lube please.

Wanted to set it up like that, but some guys might get confused.

A better comparison would have been disposable income. I may earn R50k/month but have R2k left and be worse off than a R30k/months who has R5k left. He's riding a Cannondale and I'm on a Silverback...

Nope. Not unless your wife points her discretionary income at buying bikes. That doesn't happen for me...

Nou 6.

 

Het nie my eie vote getel nie

I wanted to go for that, but then the poll would be influenced by peoples own individual cicumstances. This is more about income earning ability.

There is no option for negative values...

[Flowta]

Doesn't matter what I earn....first the government takes it's share....the rest goes to the wife..... :-(

 

I know the feeling, managed to negotiate a monthly pocket money amount for bike stuff
