I've recently started the assessment process to fostering and I'm so nervous and excited all at the same time!
I'm trying to think this through sensibly though (trying not to get carried away) and one of the issues I'm struggling with is whether or not it is actually physically possible to live off of the pay. I'm fully aware that this isn't a role you enter into for the money and I'll be leaving a well paid job to do it, I'm happy to make that change. But I'm worried that it just wont be enough to cover our rent/bills/etc. My partner makes much less than I do currently; £23,000 - and that will be our main source of income.
How do you all manage? Is it your partners who support the household financially?
(PS - sorry to be so frank about money, I just need advice - I never normally talk about it so openly and I hope I don't offend anyone.)
