Summary at a Glance

Revealing all on her outgoings, Millie continued: “So the total for bills and nursery was £3,056.55 - all of my income, including the last month of my maternity pay and child benefit, came to £3,250.10 and the total outgoings with £3,056.55, which left me with £193.55 for four weeks with three kids.

Millie, who is eligible for Universal Credit, which is given to UK residents with a low income or who need help with their living costs, as well as child benefits, uploaded her short clip with the caption ‘Seeing all these numbers written down is CRAZY.

She then said: “So my total bills came to £986.95, this doesn't include electric, I pay that as I go, and then nursery for the three kids was £2,069.60, which isn't as bad as it was last month actually, but it's still quite a bit.

But social media users were left gobsmacked by Millie’s monthly income and many who work full-time claimed that they receive far less in wages alone.

It came after the young woman, who is from the UK, has a job and also makes "a little bit of money" from her TikTok videos via the Creator Fund, took to social media to share her situation.
