The content creator said: "Seeing all these numbers written down is CRAZY. Everything is so expensive and yes I have cut down on everything we don’t need!"

She continued: “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. And when you think, that's nearly my whole UC just gone, which is why I was skint again this month.”

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.

“So here's a little heads up to everyone that thinks benefit life is the cushty life, it isn't.” Millie also claimed that her wages “weren’t as much” as they usually are as it was her last month of maternity pay, reported .

She added: "I feel like there's quite a lot of other people in the same situation, but they just don't want to talk about it because people are so judgy when it comes to money and where you spend it.”

In response, one TikTok user typed: “Far more than what I earn in a month, full time ICU staff nurse looking after critically ill people. Really disheartening.” Another added: “More than my full time working wage! Joke.”

A third commented: “Still more than what we are left with, I work part time, partner works full, we pay nursery fees and get no help.” A fourth wrote: “More than me and I work full time. budget your money better.”

A fifth asked: “I’m 20 years working and I get less. How? How is this fair?” In reply, Millie fumed: “No idea, have it out with the government.”

Other comments about nursery charges included one person saying: "I thought if we are on benefits nursery is free? At least that's what I got told and only working people have to pay." And another said: "Not sure how it works but are you not entitled to any free nursery hours ? That nursery bill sounds like your biggest problem."
