Hi Pat,not wishing to appear picky but is that 80K a take home.If so excellent,but if not what is in the bank.
I see so much on these sites that people earn vast fortunes,then they say ‘‘thats brutto’’.Lets be honest,who cares what we earn ‘‘brutto’’,its what goes in the bank that we spend.

Brutto? Is that before deductions? Top line?
