Work out the hourly rate of a cleaner, and that of a childcare provider! You 'earn' more than 7k!0

Im the same , hubby earns a month what I do a year and pays for everything. We have a joint account what both wages go into but now we've decided that I'll stay home as childcare for two will cost more than I earn I expect. I don't feel bad just yet ;-)0

I am in very similar circs Kimberley. Tho my husband earned more than enough to pay the bills (we have a little debt) we struggled with 'big ticket' items, eg holidays, decorating, replacing furniture/large household items. Though all money is shared, my wages go into a seperate account and is earmarked for the items that are 'extra'. So we have had an extra UK break since I've worked, replaced dining chairs and other household items. Currently I'm moving money into savings and looking to book a holiday abroad. We can 'see' the difference my wages mean.0
