For me , it is not all about ££££ in your hand , as there are other benefits that are more valuable than cash. Really you need to get out of the employee mindset
Obviously you need a certain cashsum each month for your personal needs , however , you should be able to run a car, phone, certain travel at home and abroad, meals out ,proportion of household utilities and several other things which can make your income in real terms very attractive.
It realy is up to you what you achieve.
