I earn 20k a year Mrs earns 17.5k add on tax credits for the children and my disability benefit it adds up to a decent amount a month left after bills etc
We rent a council house and don't have many bills other than the necessary and fortunate in that our child care costs are minimal as we pay the kids grandparents to pick the kids up from school and I have an arrangement with work that I can do the morning school runs plus the Mrs gets a day off in the week
We did spend about 7 years living off just my wage though when the kids were tiny then once they got to school age worked very hard to get to where we are now. Used to drive cheap 600 quid cars etc and the car we have now I used redundancy money to buy outright. Used to be skint and haven't forgotten those days so live within our means even though the money we make now could see us with a bigger faster car etc.
Only major expenses are a family holiday every two years or so
