  • I was surprised by how low her childcare costs were.

    Earning £150k with two kids in childcare you could easily be paying £4k on that, £2k on mortgage, £1k on utilities, council tax, food, etc and be left with ~ £500 a month for extras.

    If you're working full time child care costs are pretty ludicrous.

    There's a real issue with families leaving London because for many it is just too expensive to have kids here.

  • £1k on utilities, council tax, food, etc.

    Doesn't seem that far wide.

  • utilities, council tax, food, etc

    £250 council tax, £300 gas, electric, water, phone, broadband, £100 on various insurance and then food, nappies, clothes and the rest.

    Seems reasonable
