    Pretty much zero holiday spend here too. Unless you count the occasional one night away after a show, if it's logistically easier.

     On a joint pension income of around £60k gross, split roughly 50/50. Well, it will be once SP  kicks in towards the end of this year. 
    But will you spend £60K though, which is more what the thread is about ?
