Hi there buzzers. How are you all keeping.
Could anyone please advise on an average income for a decent lifestyle in the UK, with having a single income household comprising of a husband and wife, plus 2 small kids (3 year old and 4 year old)?
I am looking at what would be a decent salary to get there, to manage to pay for a decent 3 bedroom place (rent - until we decide to buy), petrol cost for travelling (work and touring), cover bus expenses if bus is a better option, monthly grocery prices for an average family, Electricity costs, Water costs, Telephone costs, Sky TV costs, etc.
For luxuries, this will include some local travels, as well as an abroad travel once a year.
Eating out (McDonalds, etc. - once to twice a week).
Cinemas (1 movie a month)
Just a basic take on the above. Like what Gross or Net salary should I be looking at?
Thanks
Popeye
