I'd be inclined to go along with your calculations as things stand. But 18-25k IS downright OUTRAGEOUS! Being a State Pensioner, there are few on here better aware of that than I !

try NOT to allow yourself to become over~stressed by it all; the majority of us have been "through the mill" and are always on hand to give support wherever we can.
