Hi,
Me and my German husband want to live in the UK. He will be writing his phd while i will be hopefully working (with the EEA permit) - he will be making only a part time living from his uni (from Germany) - the rest we plan to get by on savings and my income from my work .

My question is - How much money defines a self-sufficient person? Is it legally okay that I possibly will be supporting our life in the UK, while he works on his phd? We both want to leave Germany....

Thanks so much!!

Yes, Ive seen the written laws but I still dont understand them -
He will not be a burden on the UK because I will co-support financially - but when its time to fill out information on the EEA2 - is it okay to show my paycheck statements?

Yes, he can be self-sufficient on the basis of your income. That's in the link I posted above...
