Even if we work three months we can easily have around 15,000 in case a contractor or 7000 case full time (just a wild guess).
Why do we keep asking how much for to maintian for one dependent two dependent and so on.
You are right. This is the wildest guess I have ever come across. 7000/3=2333. Assuming an average spend of 1500 per month, this leads to £3800 net earning which is roughly equal to £67K /annum . Do you think this is some kind of average salary?coolsats wrote:Hi,
I always had this question in my mind.....
My questions is why do we struggle for maintaince fund. If we are working full time or as contractors why do we struggle to have money in our account. Even if we work three months we can easily have around 15,000 in case a contractor or 7000 case full time (just a wild guess).
.
Because if you are really that "Highly Skilled", why you will be "wasting" extra money in your account.coolsats wrote:Hi,

Why am I included in your blanket statement? I'm just agreeing that people should keep more than simply the bare minimum required in a maintenance fund and at the latest earnings thresholds, it should not be impossible to do.beecharmer1800bc wrote:After reading this thread, I think the comments from Coolsats and mulderpf are rather naive and short sighted.
Much as I admire your earning ability and the fact that you even have a 'job'(which can only be in IT), I think you should keep your comments to yourself.
Everyone's circumstance is different and it is irresponsible of you to have a go at people who just want to keep the minimum amount of maintenance funds.
The overall cost of the application itself is outrageous and for a majority of people; it places a huge amount of financial and psychological pressure. Think about a typical applicant with a wife and kid(some have 2 kids) spending well over £4000 in maintenance funds and application fees.
I mean, people pay for other outgoings like rent,feeding,CT and utility bills including child care.
I earn £40000 and even with a kid, I still struggle because the Mrs doesn't hold a full time job. I also have outstanding debts to pay after 5 months of unemployment.
I mean, I can see from your posts in this forum that you were once unemployed so I fail to see what your point is about people struggling with the maintenance funds. A bit of ego I guess.
I am glad I have a job and can even pay my bills; however I will not look down on people who claim to be on a 'highly skilled visa' but do menial jobs.
I honestly wish you well in your employment but will also hope that those searching will find a job soon and so that they too can earn big bucks like you
I agree and I'd like to add that no matter where you are in the "Food Chain", other's will be always up and down the chain.beecharmer1800bc wrote:After reading this thread, I think the comments from Coolsats and mulderpf are rather naive and short sighted.
No probs mate.coolsats wrote:Hey ~Guys,
My post was not meant to look down upon people with less pay. When I came here for the first time, spent everything, no job for months, struggled with my rent, so I had my bad days as well. It was just a query in my mind and i wanted to share it across with you guys.
I owe everything to this beautiful forum, so was putting across my thoughts in here.
Please guys, there is no ego factor involved anywherepls do not mis judge. Maybe i should ve explained it better.
Well definitely if we consider dependents then it does gets a little difficult.
But neways, lets lock this up now![]()
Good luck to everybody and am sure we all will climb the ladder of success, its just a matter of time.
Regards..
Well done to you.coolsats wrote:@beecharmer1800bc
