hello Everybody!

I am also planning to move to UK. I have been offered a job for 35000 Pounds Gross per annum + benefits
I would come with my wife and my little son. We should relocate in Manchester (at least at the beginning and then we'll see).

I just ask you: considering an average life style, is it possible to have a decent life there for me and my dears?

Thank you very much
