Do you have dependant children in the family or is it just you and your wife?

I think its 94 quid a week... but I mean that is nothing, you can earn that standing on your head.

That's what you need to have left weekly after rent or mortgage and utility bills have been paid... you don't have to include food or personal spending.
Are you both over 21?

where did you get this disposal income figure of 94 pound from

It's actually closer to Â£95 now...not much difference. It's based on the income support level calculated by the Government.
