My OH earns millions AMA

[scumbagmillionaire]

Just that really. I'm a SAHM. He's earned over a million pounds for the last few years. 7 last year probs not as much this year. Presume I will get a lot of abuse but do think that there are a lot of misconceptions as to.how much money it really is after tax and what sort of person you are so....

Sorry to derail op but agreed that RMM thread was weird as fuck.

Why would the family ones annoy you? It's an anonymous forum, you've volunteered to be questioned about a millionaire lifestyle. No one knows who you or your family are. The question that was asked upthread was how did it affect your relationship with the rest of your family given that you don't ever help them out, whether it causes resentment or not, and to ask that doesn't mean it's being judgemental.

Thanks Kitty. Yes, sorry to derail, but I'm glad that others noticed.

w why people start these if they don't actually want to answer questions.

I suspect the Op realised very early on into the thread that she/he wasn’t going to be able to pull the wool over peoples eyes the way she intended to.

ElizabethMainwaring I can actually imagine that. Even her comments on here when she was explaining what happened were very incoherent. I didn’t understand what she meant and then she seemed to waffle on about something else. I was ignoring her comments until something kicked off somewhere and I was curious. Not ignoring her in a bad way either just didn’t get them so moved on.

RMM was a bit different, that's all. Someone said eccentric I think. All very high energy
I didn't see her abusing anyone.
I thought she got a very hard time

What worries or stresses do you have? My day to day stresses are money to keep our family afloat and my career so I am curious what my life would look like if I had neither of those issues! Would it be a joyous zen experience day to day... (I am assuming/hoping health is not an issue).

What is this RMM?

I have to agree with Elizabeth. I had to stop reading because it was like someone with a God complex was regaling her readers with a life story. Then again, that's how the posts on here came across yet people lapped it up 🤷‍♀️

Livery whatever. I have tried to keep up and answer any question as honestly as poss. Re family I have answered no we don't help out. The reasons are nothing to do with our income so not relevant. Neither is my bra size. If my family were working non stop to end world poverty would I be helping them? Yes. Are my family living anywhere near minimum wage? No. Did my family have the same opportunity? Yes Hope that covers it.

Famousfour. My Oh. Has stressed to the same level over the last 20 years, there was a particularly grim episode around 10 or so years ago. But other than that he is a worrier. I'm not relaxed now the kids are older it's up to them. He worries so much about losing it all. He's seen loads do it. It's a very volatile situation. (Not complaining just explaining you can't count on it to be there)

'He worries so much about losing it all.'

This speaks volumes. Desperate to hang on to every penny and reluctant to give generously in a way that makes a difference to people in need. I think you have definitely avoided looking at some uncomfortable truths here.

These millions are not really 'earned' in the truest sense. They are not invested in creating anything useful or adding value in any way at all. Much of it is gained by betting on stocks going down and running companies down then buying cheaply, waiting for stock to fail or rally. I can't respect that at all because there are real people and real lives on the end of that. Your (obcene) gain is made up from many other peoples losses.

FFS June stop being so bloody judgey and leave OP alone

"This speaks volumes"

The OP invited comment. This thread was started by the OP inviting us to ask about the millions earned by her DH and their lifestyle. Maybe we should ask about the OP's favourite handbag instead?

I'll judge away thanks. OP is strategically avoiding anything too uncomfortable anyway so I doubt it's a problem .

Can you give us some of it?

I think if you have any spare money you have an obligation to help those needier than you.
I only earn £20k a year, but I have always sponsored children in other parts of the world, I used to sponsor two and now down to one. £25 a month. Affordable for a lot of people (I know not everyone) and it would do a lot of good. To have a lot of extra money and not giving anything is extremely selfish.

achoocashew I’m sure the op said she does give to charity. Just not as much as she could. I think she probably gives more than say I would or could which is better.

The Op has said they don't help their family out, so it comes as no surprise they don't give much to charity. I'm sorry if this is a sore point to her but charity begins at home. Personally i wouldn't be able to see my family struggle for money if i was in a position to help them now and again.

OP at what point did you realise you were rich/didn't have to worry about money and how did you feel about it? A bit more of your honest personal thoughts would be really interesting!

When did you give up work and did you intend it to be permanent at that point?

coolncalm who says her family want/need/deserve her help?

elizabeth just to back up your account too. Very, very odd indeed.

Thanks @ElizabethMainwaring that makes sense. I admit I encouraged RMM after her first post here, which was thoroughly sensible but then her subsequent posts became increasingly odd.

I think that she'd spent a lot of time and effort creating an alter-ego, and decided that her AMA was going to be her 'big reveal'. But she was well out of her depth and was quickly rumbled. One poster mentioned Walter Mitty. She didn't seem to have much clarity of thought, which didn't help matters either. I now think that she probably got the thread removed herself, as she was embarrassed. Sad really.

ifyoudontimagine well obviously we don't know, that's why i asked her, nobody knows anything till we ask her do we. That's what the thread is, ask me anything? It's not about assuming.

Will you be my benefactor and give me 3k to get a car I can fit my wheelchair in?

Jokes aside, what car do you drive?
