If you were earning £28k, without a student loan you would earn £21,244.20 after tax and NI.
What is your tax code?

4600 is peanuts.
I couldn't get 3 rooms painted in Belgium for that nevermind carpets, wall paper and tiling and the rest. I'd be wanting more than 4600 to totally do up a new house.

I suspect private pension contributions, student loan repayments or something along those lines have got mixed into the figure.

Then don't pay someone to do it, while tiling can be difficult, painting is most certainly not. Have we got to the stage where social tenants should to be able to pay people to decorate for them.
I earn a good wage, but I still decorate as much as I can myself. Why should the OP be any different.
For about a little under a year when I was 18 before buying my own house, but that isnt the point.
The point is, the "benefit" side of it, social housing is a benefit, its not a bad thing, its just a fact, the same way that saying water is wet is a fact, you cannot make any argument to suggest that those in social housing have anywhere near the costs or responsibility of those who own their own homes.
I've never earnt huge amounts of money, and I've never considered council housing, go figure.

The whole point is when you rent, be it council or private, you wouldn't be paying for house maintenance, be it boilers, glazing, roofing or whatever. That's the responsibility of the landlord.
So in the ops case the only benefit is the subsidised rent, not any maintenance costs which you seem to imply in other posts and why you were asked if you had rented privately.

You're doing it wrong.
Assuming student loan repayments and a private pension contribution of 6% (which is about average), he is left with £18730, so no, he probably isn't "doing it wrong".
You are allowed a council house assuming you're a UK national. If your not then I don't care

Your post baffles me
Who's slumming it exactly? What is this "Same level of housing"
Im in a home...A nice home, Which is from the council. I dont understand why i'd need a second job to get a private rented home instead when Im happy here. In a home thats not sub standard atall??

Ah, I see. So basically you're talking **** and not looking to back up your statement. Fair Enough

Indeed, Everyone can put their names on the list. Its just a matter of priority. Took me 6 years before I got into this place.
in most areas you get so many points based on cirumstance and length of time on the waiting list.
then you bid these points for the house hence all the refugee types getting council houses so fast
Can get a nice 3 bed house for that here private.
As already said, it depends on where you live
