Peeps react to doctor’s salary in the UK
Social media users who took to the comments section of the post shared opinions on the breakdown by the doctor of her expenses in the UK.
Vikkylove wrote:
“I thought doctors earn up to £4k–£5k here in the UK. Haaa, £3k is too small after tax.”
Elijah Omorowe stated:
“2-bedroom duplex £950? Omo, you guys are really enjoying outside London. I pay the same price for my one room.”
Dr Kaycee asked:
“I need to know about the biscuit investment. When you pay off your AMEX, you will be saving over £2k. Some support workers can earn as much as doctors when they work more with less stress. Some support work is soft.”
Ibn Rushd wrote:
“Amazon Prime £4.49? Mine is £8.91 or so. Council tax is a joke wherever you are. Where I am, it’s £220. Broadband is £30. But I’m not really believing these bills, they are way below what I pay for everything.”
