So most people in the UK earn 7-15k?

Surely that can't be right? Or is this including everyone 16+?

That is why I was wanting to know if it was everyone over 16.

What you actually have coming in may not indicate your true financial situation. Many pensioners may have quite small pensions but may have cleared their mortgages and therefore might be reasonaly comfortably off.
