Our ‘Monetary Pathways’ series gives a deep dive into people’s spending habits. Every penny spent is accounted for to give you a complete picture of different financial lifestyles. So, from bills to unexpected expenses, we reflect it all to understand individuals better.
This week, we focus on a marketing manager earning £39,600 per year. Despite choosing to keep their personal data and specific budget allocations under wraps, they do share an insight into their general financial strategy.
Approximately half of their earnings go towards fixed costs like rent and bills. The rest is carefully split between savings, investments and extra, unforeseen expenses. They see the value in planning for unexpected expenditures and long-term goals, such as retirement and property investment, even with an above-average income.
Subscription services, license renewals, and regular advertising campaigns are some of the recurring, but unfixed expenses they juggle.
Decoding a marketing manager’s fiscal roadmap
Meanwhile, costs for market research, staff development, client management software and contingent spending for crisis management contribute to their non-fixed outgoings.
We gently delved into their educational background, their early life financial independence, and career progression but received no specifics. Their personal savings, investments, and retirement plans also remain unshared.
It’s interesting to find out that despite an intense financial life, they manage their money independently. This includes budgeting, keeping track of their spending, and dealing with financial duties without any external input or advice.
Highlighting the income disparity within the professional field, the marketing manager’s salary is contrasted with that of an audit senior associate earning £57,100, a senior partnerships manager making £65,000, and an individual earning £10,000 annually more than their parents. The stark reality of income differences in the job market is thereby revealed.
Look forward to our next ‘Monetary Pathways’ release. Here’s hoping these insights inspire you to reassess your own financial approach. Stay tuned as we continue to shed light on successful methods of managing money!
