I recently went back to work after mat leave and am sat here wondering how on earth this is worth it ?! after paying all my bills of food, rent, electricity, water, internet, netflix, phone, commute and childcare etc i'm only left with £200 a month to save? i'm not a big spender either, all my income goes on the mentioned above plus £100 spending allowance for myself.
I'm not trying to rant, but i'd like to understand how other working mums do it? is this a reasonable amount to save per month or is there something very wrong in my finances? I live with my DH and we split all bills / expenses if anyone is wondering
AIBU?
to think the amount of money im left with by the end of the month is ridiculous?

Am I being unreasonable?

£100 to spend on yourself plus £200 to save. 300 quid.
Oh @yellowcheesepie this thread is not going to end well for you.
Seriously....back out now.
Most people can only fantasize about £300 spare a month.
