How much spending money do you have each month?

[AndrewP]

I do like. About 600 quid a month for shopping

I presumed he meant random shopping, not groceries and the like.

 

[Charmless Man]

Are we including bait in this?

Either way, I'm fortunate to be in a position where I don't have to worry about it.

Fixed costs of about £8k - fixed income about the same. Bonuses pay for holidays and extra stuff.

 

[PTR]

No it doesn't.

Its not called "rainy day money" or "savings fund money". He called is "spending" or "dispose of it" money

"Disposable" doesn't mean that you need to spend it. Just like "flammable" doesn't mean it has to be set on fire.

 

[AndyGray1985]

A month?

Yes.

Two families to support - 4 kids and 2 dogs, two houses and all the extras. Nowt left of a fine salary.

I was more shocked at £8k per month outgoings. He can't live around here, there aren't many £165k a year jobs, or houses to spend that sort of money on if he earned it.

 

[Nookie Bear]

Pay £1000 each into account to cover all household bills , groceries , birthdays, Christmas and holidays excluding spending money - rest is ours to spend as we choose. I pay for car expenses as I’m the only driver for now

 

[Billy Batts]

None of your business.

I live in Copenhagen, marra.

 

[AndrewP]

I live in Copenhagen, marra.

Makes sense then

 

[Lonz]

I live in Copenhagen, marra.

That'll be £7k/mo tax then

 

[AndyGray1985]

Makes sense then

Expensive, high taxes etc. - but my salary is nothing extraordinary. My manager makes £50k pr. month.

You'd like like a Lord in the North East on £160k a year like.

Gross £14k = Net £8k in Denmark unless you're on a special ex-pat scheme

But most likely couldn't get a job...

I'm assuming the cost of living is pretty high? What % of your net goes on things like rent/mortgage or a car, out of interest?

 

[Hongkongphooey]

What do you count as "bills"?

are shopping money / online subscriptions / diesel top ups / holiday savings for next year / christmas fund / etc counted as bills?

If they count as bills, then I don't actually have that much left to be honest

Aye, bills

Very similar to here then.

He's responsible for most of a five aside team and lives abroad. I reckon school fees might take up a chunk.
