Feel free to say I am being unreasonable and tell me to mind my own business, it’s a genuine question though, I’m interested in finding out if the wealth divide really is as big as it’s portrayed in the media and/or if I’m losing touch with reality.
I’ll start, ours is 60k after tax, 2 working adults and 2 children and I’d consider us to be in the average range. TIA

Yes there were several ridiculous posts on here but £350k even in London is pretty good going. Of course you are doing well.

Yes I agree with you. I’m sure a lot of things we take for granted are not necessities, but feel like they are (ie nursery). I just meant compared to some of the responses I read here re ‘bandings’. I actually shouldn’t have posted, nothing positive for anyone from such a thread.

Depending on whether DH actually gets paid for any of the overtime he always does, it's somewhere between not quite enough and nowhere near enough....

Two of us. Renting. Adult kids all moved away....

Single parent of one child in North of England. On £45,000 my mortgage is tiny now and I'm a homebody so we're reasonably comfortable but can't afford the big stuff like holidays abroad or new furniture.

79k joint DH earns commission so average 15k on top of that.

North West, big mortgage. Definitely feeling the pinch this past year.
