We're a little bit odd, as on paper we currently have very little "income", but quite substantial liquid assets.
DH (59) - Retired, pension DD of £15,000
OP (54) - 'Housewife', no income currently (other than some interest)
How's it going, AKA, Nutwatch? - rolling 12 month spends to date = 2.85% of current retirement "pot" (as at end October 2026)0 -
Whenever I apply for a switch or new account I just put my current salary. I don't include the bonus as it's obviously not guaranteed and I won't know what pay rise we get until after reviews are done so I can't say if my income will rise.
If the apps ever ask me to check details I will update themSam Vimes' Boots Theory of Socioeconomic Unfairness:
People are rich because they spend less money. A poor man buys $10 boots that last a season or two before he's walking in wet shoes and has to buy another pair. A rich man buys $50 boots that are made better and give him 10 years of dry feet. The poor man has spent $100 over those 10 years and still has wet feet.

I think it's the fact that cash deposits are mentioned, not merely deposits.eskbanker said:

Perhaps, but that would seem an unusual question to ask in an application form?Shakin_Steve said:eskbanker said:

Maybe, but as I haven't applied for quite some time, I don't really know. Banks are updating their policies all of the time.eskbanker said:
