"employment status" for (mostly) full-time mum? And living expenses question
Hey all,
Filling out my application online and came across two questions:
The first is regarding my state of employment. I have taken a career break to be a full-time mum, but have been doing a bit of freelance work here and there (emphasis on "bit"), and also sell jewelry though a direct sales/party plan type business as a side thing to my side thing
I ticked the box for "self-employed", but then it's asking my monthly income, which is not necessarily monthly, nor very consistent. Just do an average? Or better to select unemployed?
The second question I was wondering about was in regards to how much we spend on living costs each month. Is this just asking for our mortgage, utilities and fixed monthly costs of that sort - or is this asking about groceries, meals out, trips to the coffee shop, etc.? Going through six months of bank statements and wondering if I really need to itemize how much we spend at Starbucks each month?! (could be scary)
