    Assuming you need £1000 a month to live on, £1000 - £650 = £450 extra to find.

    £450 divided by £9000 (savings), you can live for 20 months.

    Thats how long he has to find a job.

    Good luck.

    Hiya, no we have about £900 left on our mortgage, which isn't alot , only about £18 a month. I work 22.5 hours a week and bring home £600 - £650, but the credit card bills are £150 a month, then monthly bills, car insurance, p.tax and food. I don't think we can both live on my wage until he finds a job. :confused:

    benefits dont pay your debts, you made them , you pay them out of a subsitance level of income and since you have savings you do have money to live on and not just your wage.

    You wont be entitled to anything. No help with mortgage or loans. No jsa unless your partner paid class 1 ni.
    you have savings, you need money therefor use the savings
