How much left at end of month?
Discussion
I’m considering new work opportunities in light of the IR35 stuff due to come in next year.
When mulling over a job offer, it got me thinking, how much is a good amount to have left at the end of the month, completely free?
I know everyone’s situation varies massively, but after literally every expense, I should have £746 left at the end of the month to save, spend, our aside for car repairs and maintenance etc as I see fit. Should usually be a bit more with some overtime. No kids yet, late twenties and other half working and contributing albeit not equally.
How does this compare to the average person? I often wonder how some of my friends who earn a lot less but have bigger houses etc get by, not that it’s any of my business, but personally I’d feel better having more disposable left like I do currently while doing contract work, but I’m prepared to admit I’m basically a disguised employee with regards ir35 so happy to have less disposable to be compliant.
Anyone care to share their own circumstances? A bit personal perhaps but should be interesting.
