This site will tell you the percentile of the population you fit into for the national income distribution, though they use the slightly bizarre definition of income minus council tax.

p.s. I'm a girl - what am I meant to measure?

This thread has taken a slightly odd turn...

..but I like it.

Usually, as a rough guess, for the past 10 years, anywhere between £50 and £300, before I've bought food or left the house or bought anything. That's just a roof over my head + basic utilities + basic cost of keeping a vehicle on the road to get to/from work (but not including actually using it).

From next month, it's looking like about £50-100 as my income's had a thrashing.... in fact I might not even break even, so put me down for a "loan to live" next month.

Form an orderly queue,no one 'shooting off' before the gun.

I could be wrong but common culture leads me to believe it is the size of a mans wallet, at the end of the day if they don't satisfy you in the trouser department you could then always take solace in a bit of retail therapy in the shoe department, the dress department, and the jewellry department, I am sure the guys will however correct me if I am wrong :rotfl:

I'm retired and have just under £1000 per month in pension income. Mortgage just paid off but I worked out that after deductions for insurances, council tax, water, heating, denplan, internet, TV licence, phone, car tax etc etc I have about £175 per week for weekly expenditure on food and other things. Other things being occasions when your car clutch goes belly up, your central heating boiler explodes, your pet needs medical attention, clothes, shoes, petrol, glasses, holidays (chance would be a fine thing).
Have had a lot of 'unscheduled expenses' lately. When it settles down, I hope to work out my true disposable income. So far this year it is 0.
I frequent these boards and think that I live pretty frugally. But it's not the day to day expenses that are the problem. It's catering for everything else - more so for home owners maybe.

I always have around £5,000 a month after bills which I have absolutely no idea what to do with ...... it's not a pleasant situation I can tell you - having spare cash is a PITA!
