As a household how much are people managing to save?

With kids? Of course it depends on location (outside or within London etc), but me and DH with young twins are aiming to save around £1000 a month after all bills and personal expense budgets. We live in the Midlands.
I’ll be working part time and he works FT.

I know to even save at all is good in this current environment. I was wondering what other households with kids try to save if they can.

The same topic comes up every week. Completely pointless!

About £25 a month 😳

Every little helps!

I save shiny sweetie wrappers and the tears of angels. I have 1.1 million of them locked away. My retirement will be glorious

We save 3k a month. No mortgage, no child care. Some months we can only save £2,800.

1 DS just about to leave nursery this summer. Mortgage paid off before DS was born.

I put 5k into pension and about 2k into other investments each month. DH saves about half that amount as he earns less.

We typically save around £500 and put £150 on mortgage. We earn about 85k 1 child (2 slightly dependant adult children)
