in the grand scheme of things 110k per year is NOT a lot of money.
Depends who earns it as well.

If you have a family with one person working and the other looking after the kids then a £90K income is around £57K after tax

If both work and earn £45K each then the income is around £62K after tax.

I don't think that's fair.

BTW - that difference in income would finance a BMW 330i
