Depends... I'm single earn ok 50k+ but don't have kids so have a lot more disposable income, more holidays.

My sisters both have 3 kids each and husbands. Household income is probably double mine but they less disposable income.

My DM has a job in care but has paid off her mortgage so whilst not receiving a huge salary, she also has good disposable income.

My mother - which makes my life miserable as she is another person living off my income.
Did not want to finish her studies. Has worked in low paid retail jobs her whole life and now is retired on minimum pay which barely cover maintenance fees for her flat.
Luckily her flat is mortgage free (got it from divorcing my father). Otherwise I would be in serious trouble.

Used to be me - Got married had 3 kids at a young age - my sister was always the ‘sensible’ one with her bank manager husband and 1 child. We really struggled for years.
Not anymore - kids grown up both of us in really good jobs and just inherited a shit load of money from my in-laws!

My dog. She suffers from gastric troubles on a regular basis, despite having top quality dog food. She’s cost us a fortune at the vets.
But she only has to gaze up at us with those big brown eyes and all is forgiven!
