Hi I’m sure that this varies hugely depending on area and relative to what one regards as comfortable living but let’s say somewhere like Guildford or surrounds. For a family of 4 (2 teens) to live a nice life, occasional trip to Europe, the movies, central heating o a lot i a freezing person, tripsand outings out etc some nice clothes occasionally please a guesstimate of total household income. Please.

One or two earners? Mortgage? If so then at a push one on 90k, or two on 40k each.

Guildfords expensive. You'd need to provide figures for housing, travel etc. I'd say about 90K or take home 5K-5.5K + assuming mortgage and bills 2K monthly, travel costs £300 monthly, food £600 monthly (not scrimping), car maintenance (£50), clothes, holiday savings, general emergency fund savings (£500), rest discretionary spending - clothes/u inform, shoes, clubs/extra curricular, birthdays and Xmas, school trips etc. It all adds up!

Depends hugely on the mortgage/ deposit for a property
