“Let’s assume my husband makes £10,000 every month, he will sort out all the bills easily and never complain.” Okay, let’s re-state the facts. In the uk, the median annual salary is £39,039 to £40,911 per year before tax, which equates to a monthly pre-tax pay of roughly £3,253 to £3,410. After standard income tax and employee National Insurance deductions (using 2026/27 PAYE baseline rates), the monthly take-home (after tax) pay is approximately £2,635 to £2,720 per month (assuming you have no student loans or pensions to pay). So this means the average person in the uk after tax only makes about £2700 a month. This is what most people earn. Rent will take at least half of that money for most people. By the time you deduct phone bills, WiFi, light, water, foodstuff- most people cannot save or have £1,000 a month left. “I cannot split bills with a man” “My man must put me on monthly allowance” So again I’m asking honestly, These whole expectations that many of you have, what exactly is driving all of these delusions?
