How long would 50k last you

[Frynye]

Inspired by another thread

Assuming your household lost all income and savings tomorrow, but you were handed 50k to live on. Just for bills/ mortgage/ debts/ food and daily spending

If I lived comfortably I could get a year out of it,
with some scrimping and saving 18 months

About the same op. 12 months as we are now, including a couple of holidays etc. If we really tightened up about 18 months.

About 10 months, keeping our mortgage and household bills the same as now, but reducing our clothes/days out, petrol/ and food spend, and removing holidays or any big extras.

A year, 18 months if absolutely nothing was bought apart from necessities, my mortgage is a grand a month atm though.

6 months.

Easily 3 years, if I budgeted. I net £2,100 per month and save at least £700 of that, so barring major expenditure (needing to replace the car, house repairs etc) it would be perfectly doable.

We have no mortgage anymore so we could make it stretch to 18month perhaps 2yrs if we cut back on a few things.

Would be fucked if the roof needed replacing though.

About 12 months. Mortgage is £1700. Childcare approx £500

If we scrimped then a year. We’d have to stop nursery, stop our mortgage overpayments and not have any spending money, but could live in that for a year if we had to.

18 months to 2 years, but it would be tight. No mortgage helps.

About a year and a half, maybe longer if I didnt buy any clothes or go away anywhere. No mortgage, but a large house and several cars and pets.

Around 6-8 months.
Mortgage, dog, student daughter etc

Two years

It costs me around £1k a month to live, so 4 years.

Two years comfortably, three less comfortably, four if I just paid bills and ate very cheaply and didn't do much else.

5 years being frugal, zero debt, cook from scratch cheaply

On my own, 2.5 years - no mortgage but two pampered pets. With DH, approx 20 months.

6 months.

2 years without any significant changes.
Probably 3- 3.5 with some effort.
No children.

2 years easily, 3 or more years with some effort.

13 months if costs more or less stay the same.

About 20 months if I can pull the kids out of childcare!

A year comfortably.

Depending on when school fees were due, about 2 to 3 months

I could make it last two years, my DH about six months.

Couple of years at least, mortgage is paid off

7 months without us cutting back longer with.
