    does that include all your partners bills as well, as you have mentioned
    they live somewhere else - you have included their salary....
  • He is living above his friends pub where he works (rent/food costs etc. free). The amout mentioned is what he gives me out of his salary towards my bills. So his costs are minimal and he has his own money (rest of his wages) to play with.
