£22k, and as someone else said, after the mortgage, bills, car expenses and whatever else seems to leak out of my account, i'm left with little. My Mrs earns £3k more than me and logic says we should be relatively comfortable, but she has her own mortgage, bills etc as well. We're in the process of selling her house, (2 up, 2 down, £69k if anyones interestes?!), but the market is shite at the minute. Bit of a nightmare at present. This is where my bitterness comes from about the ***** who won't work and who scrounge. I know for a fact some of those types will be far better well off than me, yet here are me and my mrs working hard to upkeep 2 houses and 3 kids. One day there will be only one winner, because as soon as that fucking house sells we will have a decent household income coming in, and thats when the good life begins.
