My partner did that exact same degree with the OU recently, it took her six years to do. It was a lot of hard work but very rewarding as it has allowed her to change careers and become a teacher.
She did all of it on top of a full-time job and for most of it was a single mum. The graduation ceremony was quite emotional and far more memorable than my own 20 years before as people has obviously sacrificed a lot to achieve it.
I did one Stats OU module a few years ago which is about one twelfth of a degree and even that was quite hard work.
I earn about twice as much as I did ten years ago (still less than 70k) but my overheads haven't increased much and I have increased my pension contributions and reduced my hours. It is a choice to spend more if you earn more
