Brits have opened up about how much they would need to earn in order to feel 'rich'.

I mean, the idea of what wealth looks like really does differ from person to person.

While everyone does have bills to pay, some people would consider their health to be their wealth, and others, instead, might point to their car collection.

And that's not a dig, it's just what you're into.

Meanwhile, one in five workers have had no change in their pay since the start of the cost of living crisis in 2021.

Job search site Indeed sampled 2,000 people in their new study, which showed that more than two in five said they were struggling to make ends meet.

Jack Kennedy, senior economist at Indeed, said: "After grappling with the cost of living crisis for over two years, it's no surprise that wages are front of mind for voters.

"There's a clear call from the British people for the elected Government to further ease financial pressures, and we'd expect this to remain front of mind for the public long after the winning party is decided.

"Although many have been faced with pay freezes, the Indeed wage tracker shows that posted wage growth for new hires rose to a four-month high of 6.5 per cent year-on-year in May, showing that in certain sectors, there are opportunities for workers to receive higher wages."

That being said, we've all heard that saying: "Everyone has their price," and it seems Brits have revealed how much money they would need to earn to be considered rich.

The survey showed that earning £96,000 would be the 'magic amount' to make the average person feel wealthy.

And joint households would require a combined salary of more than £115,500 a year in order to be classed as well-off, according to the responses.
