How am I supposed to do this without being in debt?

I thought I earned a decent amount. Take home is 3,200.

Mortgage around 1,000. This is far better than rent round here.
Car finance (yes I need car for work!), 290.
Childcare full times, 1,400.
Credit card payments (interest free) 80.
Travel to and from work, 150 a month.

Last year energy costs were around 250 a month in winter. I don’t know what I’m going to do? I have no partner and don’t seem to have any access to other support due to my income. Things like car tax, insurance for car and home, food, petrol, I don’t know how I will manage this?

Depending on how the savings are held, and whether he rents out one of his homes, you might be able to ask for these to be taken in to account https://www.gov.uk/how-child-maintenance-is-worked-out/ask-other-income-expenses-included

You may be in luck then. It's been confirmed Government are changing the law to take savings etc..into account in the calculations. Scroll down on this published a few days ago.

Absolutely - and interest on 100k isn’t going to be a tiny amount at todays rates and what’s he doing with those 2 houses? If he rents one out that’s income that would/should be taken into account
