Going back to work soon after maternity and have some credit card bills to pay. Ive not really a concept of what I need to live off monthly as my partner has been holding the lion shares of expenses while ive been off. I was aiming to pay £1500 monthly off credit csrds and then have £1000 left to live off (after mortgage/ utilities/ car etc are paid off).
I know mumsnet has alot of variety of incomes, I would say ours is just a bit higher than average, nothing crazy. Im asking because ideally id pay off even more of my credit cards monthly if realistic. I dont have loads on them, just 0% rates are running out soon. Its not something I would discuss with friends or family so genuinely wondering what is the norm.
Context is 2 kids and live in north East so cost of living isnt too bad.
YABU - £1000 is way more than needed
YANBU - £1000 is just right (maybe even need more!)
