Many thanks for all the replies ... Ok let me tell you all that the job what they are offering is of a Senior IT Analyst and what they have said is that this is the max they can go for so can not really negotiate any more. Any way these above prices that i got were surely a rough idea but i was told that these prices are for a "Comfortable Lifestyle for two" ... some say that one can easily live within this and some say that i need to double it but don't you think you're simply telling us all what the standard of living you would want for yourself? Life in UK is (sorry to say but) shyt, everyone's so busy with what they do, people are selfish, small houses with small rooms, it's cold and cloudy most of the time ... right now i'm on £30,000/year salary which i personally think is a hefty salary for a 2nd Line Engineer. Any way this is now going off the topic ...

So some of you say that i can easily live in this amount (keeping in mind that i am still willing to add another 2 - 3k on the top of the total) and some say that i will suffer. Hmmm now i'm really confused :-D
