Agreed.

You can put me in that bracket, Joey.

I don't completely adhere to the £100k line in the sand, as there's obviously still some benefit to having 40% of £Xk over that threshold, even though it is painful!

I also don't have children which makes it less important to stay below that line for other reasons...
