Obviously there will be many differences in what people think is 'reasonable'! I would like to be able to run my home and pay those bills, eat and drink reasonably well, have the occasional night out, perhaps have 2 'cheapie' European holidays a year, run a newish can and of course, also run and enjoy the Morgan!...



A completely impossible question to answer, I'm afraid - but a lot less than you might think if you are modest in your requirements.

Always remember that happiness and contentment is not about being able to have whatever you want, but in wanting whatever it is you have.
