This year I started a spreadsheet for gas,electric,food shopping(including eating pot) and diesel for the car-it has been quite the eye opener to say the least! Our food bill is ridiculous considering it is just me my husband and an almost one year old!Roughly speaking I have about £1100 after mortgage and bills. Currently paying off a holiday too which is another £200 gone every month until July. Not sure how I spend the remaining £900 to be honest but I always manage it. I should really start being more strict and actually sit down and work out my finances.
When we moved out, me and my husband agreed to pay the bills in a way so that what we had left each- disposable income- was the same. It didn’t make sense to us to necessarily split the bills and one of us be left with more money as we then couldn’t both pay for things such as a holiday as easily.
After bills I have about £1400 left for myself. In all honesty I don’t know where it goeswe don’t have kids but we do enjoy holidays, weekends away, etc..
along all these threads I’ve found peoples financial situations really fascinating. Each month collectively we bring home about £4300ishhh(depending on my overtime/training pay) and I always felt pretty comfortable with that, it’s more than most of our friends our age. But it amazes me that people have posted saying thats what just one of them earn!!! Or that they save a few grand a month or have a few grand spare after bills...i try not to obsess over money but it does fascinate me sometimesWow, I’m shocked people have so much disposable income I’ve got myself in a right mess with debts so my outgoings and income are about the same if not on the worse side of ideal
Can I ask your age? Just as you said it’s more than most your friends your age and just interested to see how it compares to me!along all these threads I’ve found peoples financial situations really fascinating.

Combined we have about £15,000 left every month but that's before putting money into my kids savings and solicitor fees (ongoing divorce)
Have a company so slightly different to most id imagine.
I don't know what you two do for a living, but I'm in a wrong job!My husband and I combine bills/income and at present after household expenses we have a disposable income of around £7500 - that is before we put money in to our children’s savings accounts.
I have just quit my job as we are planning a move to the States as my husband has been offered an amazing. Job opportunity, however we do have the security that we have no mortgage and we both received trust funds so we are able to been extremely flexible when it comes to money/life style.
Phew, someone on my wave lengthWow, I’m shocked people have so much disposable income I’ve got myself in a right mess with debts so my outgoings and income are about the same if not on the worse side of ideal
