It’s looking more and more likely that I will not return to my job after mat leave. Decision now will be SAHM or try and find an evening job but am curious to know what other families budgets are. Anyone mind sharing how much money you have after bills and necessities

Hello!

I know it's been quiet a while since your original post, but I'm wondering how you got on with making things work for you? Me and DH are entering a similar stage on our lives, and I'm looking to leave my job after maternity leave and look at evening PT work. DH brings home between £2,200-2,500 pm.

Would be great to get your experience of how you managed things in the end? X

Goodness. Our mortgage is lower than yours and our net income is £5000 pcm and we have no spare cash at all. We do pay our dd's rent at university which is £500 ish. And spend about £5000 on an annual holiday. But otherwise can't afford things like home improvements, second car etc.

You're obviously just really really bad at managing your money.
