Our take home pay is £780,000 a year

[Teenangels]

Ask me anything, after this I will name change.

Happy to take the good and the bad.

Absolutely loving the dense posters that’s can’t believe a scaffolding company could give an income of £780k a year. How ill-educated are some people. It’s not just Barry with the yard behind the caff that puts a few poles and boards up when you’re doing your resi extension….

Interesting glimpse into your life @Teenangels

Would any of your kids want to take over the business? (I note your daughter is training to be a m/w - good on her) Or will your DH sell when he wants to retire? It’s a good AI proof business - that’s what all our kids should be thinking of imo.

I listened to a Steven Bartlett podcast where the expert said that past a certain level of wealth and it was actually very low at the time $70k (he acknowledged it might be slightly higher now with inflation) people’s happiness didn’t actually improve with more money. So people need to be comfortable, but after that all those interviewed said they needed an average of 3x of what they had to be set and not worry - even the very very wealthy.

Was so interesting and made me think as I am an average earner, DH a high earner and I asked him what he would do differently if he got the next promotion, his answer; I don’t know. Because there’s nothing more we really need. So my point was what are you chasing then?

What have you posted this. You want people to know you're a rich pretentious twat.

I'm interested. I love to see other women do well unless it's OnlyFans or porn.

How much tax do you pay?

I can’t read the full thread as busy getting ready but what I’ve read of it so far the OP is not only coy but almost offended at being asked personal questions. Maybe she’s loosened up a bit by the time I stopped reading though?

Where/what was the turning point where things really started to take off business/income wise? How much of that happening do you put down to timing/luck and how much was hard work?

Why do you think other people are interested? In my job, I'm in contact with many wealthy people. Most love to let you know how much money they have. I much prefer talking to the ones who chat about their garden, dog or grandchildren. It seems like a new thing to me that some people show off about their wealth and it makes me cringe. Its so crass and honestly, dull. Interesting conversation is about common ground.

😂

This is like reading a "I'm the Sphinx - Ask me anything" thread.

I have enjoyed reading your post, but it is sad to see that you list being ND as a reason why no one would want your husband, particularly when you have ND children and work with young people.

Ever heard the term nouveau riche, with everything it implies? How long has your husband been this wealthy? Did you have a good prenup or was he not that wealthy when you got married?

This could have been interesting, but as usual on MN the b*tches come out.

You say OP wasn't answering questions, but most of them weren't questions, they were thinly veiled attacks.

OP, some of these people attacking you no doubt had everything handed to them on a plate.

Also, it is disgusting to ask someone if they feel guilty for enjoying money they have BOTH earned. If you think her DH earned that money without a huge amount of support from her you don't know what a healthy marriage looks like.

Everyone in this country has a better standard of living and life chances than millions/billions elsewhere in the world - how about you lot picking at her, practice what you preach and give some of your money to those poorer than you? It is exactly the same, there are people who would look at even the most average household here and think we were incredibly fortunate. She has said several times they give to charity but don't broadcast it.

Also, people have asked the same questions of her several times - and picking on her for SPAG? You harridans should be ashamed of yourselves, it seems the snobbery is real on MN.

SHE HAS SAID SEVERAL TIMES SHE HAS DYSLEXIA.

So why don't you tell us then? On an AMA thread? A provocation perhaps to not actually answer the questions properly.

😂

It's a AMA thread, not an AMA but thread therefore the OP is being asked anything! (which she seems to be shy about answering properly so not much point in the thread really)

This^
4 ovens too, although the OP 'only' uses 1 (or is it 2)
I'm absolutely NOT envious of the OP
I find the greed quite sickening and totally unnecessary actually.

“Our average holiday is between 20-25k depending on how many kids are coming, if we are going skiing over new year it will be more, if we are going to the Caribbean in February it will be about 10k for the week”

OP please please please let me know who your travel agent is! Clearly they have access to special secret rates I can’t get if they’re able to get you a holiday to the Caribbean with business or first class flights for only £10k, even £25k if all 6 of you are going is a miracle

Because 5 years ago, you said you had been with your partner for 4 years

5 + 4 = 9 years now

Your eldest is 26 and you met when the child was 1.5

So you have known your husband for 24 years, but only been together for 9.

So, were you the OW for the first 15 years? Did he father any of your children whilst still with his ex?

OP probably collects coupons out of the Sun to go to Pontins and hasn't got a clue what a foreign holiday costs

I've just stumbled on this thread after being offline for 24 hours and am finding it absolutely flippin hilarious😂

You have mentioned struggling financially in the past before this business took off, so how long have you been wealthy? You say all of the children were privately educated, but your oldest would have started school 22 years ago and left 9 years ago - how many years of their school life were you wealthy enough to send them to private?

Hehe never had so many “thanks” to a post before! Feeling very humbled!

Except earning a very normal wage/having a part time job/ not working at all, and having a high income husband is really sod all of an "experience that most don't have."

I'm very similar set up to OP's alleged story. So is my mum. So are two of the women I work with. So are many of my friends.

She obviously thinks she's unique enough to announce "AMA" when it turns out ^she takes home around £40k and her DH set up a business.
