Too much?

[kermitloving]

Does this sound about right? So as a family we have a joint income of £2,800 after tax

Rent 1000
Bills 600 (we have sky, high council tax and other energy etc as well as 2 phone contracts)

Save around 400

Rest is disposable

Would u class this average, poor or too much

@Back21970 2 adults and 2 kids one kid is at primary one is in nursery

The take home from a minimum wage job (£10.42) for 37.5 hrs a week would be £1,400 a month ish.

So it's good you're managing, but I think it would be either about average or a bit under average.

Sounds like you are good at budgeting. We used to live on that but now dc are all teens and eat more etc they seem to cost more.

It it kind of constructive though. How much other people earn and spend has no impact on what you earn and spend does it?

If you are comfortable with your situation and income and the lifestyle you are able to have from it then great. Sounds like you must budget pretty well if you are also savings 400 a month as well.

If you aren't happy in your situation then you either need to find a way to increase your income or reduce your expenses or both.
