I'm a secret rich kid ama

[secretrk]

Dh and I both have very wealthy parents, we don't tell anyone we meet/make friends with

No one is jealous. I explained ypthjread that I am pissed off becuase I misunderstood the title. And I have repaeatedly asked OP why she started a thread like this? This website is full of people going through rough times. Unless you have a story to tell, why start thrheads filled of barely-concealed idiocy?

Why do you think people are jealous.

It’s cringe that the thread has even been started!

£1million isn’t that much in the SE. Most of my friends have houses in excess of this. Lots of them are small semis in London. Some are mortgage free. The housing market was in their favour.

You aren't rich and IMO there's nothing to ask someone who is granted their money by circumstance. I don't feel that I want to understand the "secret life" of a SAHM who calls themselves a rich kid.

£1mil does not mark you out in the UK, hopefully you use your secret (free) wealth for good and donate something (money or time) to those less fortunate.

If you have £1 million why do your parents and pils have to buy you your cars? Surely you have the money to buy them yourself?

Thesearepearls I'm so sorry to burst your bubble but my dh is Oxford educated. Congrats to your son on getting into Cambridge

This is turning out to be perfect Daily Fail fodder...

2 properties in the south east and only worth £1 million? Hmm. Where in the South East? Closest city? That’s not rich btw.

I cannot believe that there are actual real life people who don’t consider being worth £1 million to be rich. Jesus Christ

Anyone who bought a house in London pre-2005 or so is rich by this yardstick. It's not exactly Beyonce and JayZee.

You may be showing your true colours here OP... how are you bursting a bubble because you're coat tailing your DH who had an education? Really bizarre

Have to say I'm disappointed, in my neck of the woods 1M won't get you off the starting blocks

I live in a council flat that was recently valued at £400,000

I think the interesting AM A threads are those where the poster has done something or something unusual has happened to them. The op hasn't done anything apart from being born to well off people. Had she earned 1 million herself I'd be interested to ask questions.

I think most people would agree that having £1 million in assets is still a lot, more than the vast majority of the population. BUT it isn’t ‘rich’ or unusual in certain circles/parts of the country. Also, whilst it’s a common turn of phrase, someone’s ‘worth’ isn’t defined by the value of their house or their bank balance.

I'm in the north, and even here (naice village), people worth £1m are fairly thick on the ground.

I live in the North too and here £20,000 a year is a bloody good wage. £1 million not being considered rich man?!

When both of your parents are so keen to provide financial help, why did the car issues get mentioned to them if your DH's salary is enough to meet your outgoings? It might come across as an odd question I suppose but most adults I know whose parents 'step in' don't mention their financials to them if they can get by without a cash boost.

Oh for Gods sake give the OP a break here. Her DP and Pils could have worked their butts off or inherited their wealth themselves. So what? She is saying she is humble and keeps it hush hush so to be able to enjoy down to earth friendships and not those within certain elite social circles as some people with money choose to do. Respect to her. Parents who have money would naturally want to help their DC. After all what's the point of wealth if you can't share it with your loved ones.
Even us working class families want to give our DC a good life, nice toys, holidays, help with uni costs etc. Many families live hand to mouth each month, you think if they had wealthy parents they wouldn't expect some help with improving their lives? Of course they would.

I'm so sorry to burst your bubble but my dh is Oxford educated.

Also, whilst it’s a common turn of phrase, someone’s ‘worth’ isn’t defined by the value of their house or their bank balance.

Agreed. It basically means “what your estate is worth”, ie how much you’re worth dead

Do you get comments about your lifestyle? Assuming you go on nice holidays etc? If so how do you respond? I ask because I am in a similar situation, people are quick to say your NOT rich but even quicker with the “you’re going on another holiday” comments.

I have to lie and say we cash in my husband flying miles, reality is we always fly business class.

There are around 3.6 million households in the UK worth £1million or more, out of a total of some 27.2 million. So some 13.6% of all households. So not that rare, but almost certainly clustered in certain geographic locations (such as the south east)

I suspect you may find a number of your neighbours in the same position, OP!

You lot are bonkers. Someone worth £1million is NOT rich. FFS!! Try telling that to the 1.3 million people who were forced to use a foodbank last year. Get a grip.

^I agree. £1 million is rich

This thread is interesting from the POV of how you manage inequality as families and as a society

£1m is very rich to me it's all comparative

Wow
People saying 1mill isn't rich

I survive on 11k a year.

must...resist...
Lol

What is your education OP?
