How much money do you have left from wages after bills?

[strongmamaxo]

I have 2 young children and I’m a single parent part time. Just curious how much you all have left over once things are paid to do whatever with the kids or spend on treats etc

Before or after savings?

About 40% of net pay from two incomes.

This is after all bills and a designated personal spending allowance each for DH and I - we have two incomes

@Cricketashesbefore savings and then what’s set aside for savings and leftovers. X

I do a full budget each month- so anything after the kids category is “leftover” so about 3690.
