Can anyone tell me if they pay more than me, less, similar and any feedback

Working out where we’d be better off-have one young Dd, Dh works Mon -Fri-8-5.30.
I work two evenings and Saturday morning

Feel like everything is so expensive compared to the wages you get where we are. We’re lucky at least that our mortgage is small as rent where we are is 3 x our mortgage
