Default Is 50K really life changing?
Does it depend on which part of the UK you live in?
To me life changing means you can give up work. I don't think you can do this on 50K.

I think if you are clever with it, Ł50,000 could indeed be life-changing.

I think we're lucky that Conor and his fans/family/friends are not smart people then.

Well, it could definitely make your life a bit easier, but it's not life changing.

50K does not change your life, it helps pays bills really. Not even enough for a decent downpayment on a house. Plus is this the amount they pocket? or do they have to pay taxes on it?

I wouldn't say the 50K would make that life changing. He could get out of living with his mum by other ways.
