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

6 months

God, maybe 18 months scrimping?

Seems majority here is less than two years, mainly less than 18 months. Crazy how much costs have risen

2 years if I kept my luxuries. Maybe 4 years if I cut right back.

A year, if we continued to live exactly as we do. Two years if we scrimped.

4 years but really tight 3 years comfortably

2.5-3 years easily. Kids left home, no mortgage, single household. Two reasonably expensive dogs and a cheap cat.

2 years. Longr if I really scrimped.

2 years easily, probably 3 or 4 with scrimping. But only because we’ve built up a large mortgage overpayment.

9 months as is but no holidays or bigger purchases. 12 months if we cut right back on everything barring essentials

14 months with no cutbacks

About two years I think. But if we needed a new -to us- car (our current one is nearly 20yo) we'd be buggered.

We spend about £3k a month. I think it could last 18 months without much effort. If we really tightened the purse strings, I could stretch it to 2 years I reckon.

No mortgage so 2 years and a certainly decent enough life as no small children anymore,

3 years ordinarily but as I’m funding a student through Uni at £450 a month for the next three years, then 2 years.

A year probably

If not taxed I’d say eighteen months to two years.

No mortgage , a year I guess

About 3 - 3.5 years depending on how frugal I am. Currently having to be very frugal but it would be nice to be able to afford a bit less frugality. Which would make it about 3 years.

33 months based on my current income.

6 months

3 years, no mortgage, i can walk to most places ,don't need new clothes, stuff. Unless something big needs a repair in the flat obviously

Just Me and my partner and dog in my household…..so around 2 years between us …..more if we scrimped…..we’ve no mortgage or loans or debt ….

No job and given 50k I'd probably rent my house out and work out how many back to back cruises I could do 😁

That’s probably a year’s normal living costs to me.

But obviously if I lost my income and that was all I had, I’d cut back and probably get at least 18 months out of it.
