Me and my partner have moved in together and we recently got engaged. We would both rather wait until we are married to have children and also we will both be a bit older.
I am one that likes to plan ahead and im just thinking is this feasible?
My man earns about 12K after tax a year and i only work part time and earn about 5k. We wouldn't be bale to afford childcare so i would have to be a stay at home mum until i could maybe work evenings or wait until the kids start school.
I know you can get tax credits etc but dont know if we would qualify if i was at home or how much roughly you get from various benefits. Also i wouldn't want to be seen as sponging off the government?
Can anyone help
