Rich Housewife - AMA

[Iho]

Ask me anything.

Op what was your corporate job?

Ik you’re getting loads of flack but this interests me.

Do you and your husband have a plan to entrench your wealth so that is intergenerational? Or are you happy for your grandchildren and their grandchildren to make their own way? If you do have a plan, what is it?

Rock ? Of Gibraltar?

Bang on. OP isn’t rich, and certainly has no class. A £2m house and second home (mortgaged) on IoW does not pass muster.

Absolutely they view working women positively. They have come from working class families on both sides.

I think the boys would be happy with whatever choice their future wives decide upon. I think it's nice that these women will have the option of being a SAHM if they wish to as so many women don't have the choice.

lol at all the people trying to claim they would stick their kids in childcare and slave away at a 40k job to be ‘fulfilled’ if their DH earned 15 times their salary and they had substantial joint assets.

Property developer.

@goz I did just that. Thank God I did because when I left him I needed my career.

How does he mostly work from home then?

Not having a job doesn’t make you void of conversation or interests and things to talk about

Ah, so you talk to your husband about your own societal contribution a lot? I'd assume that, since you say that's what defines you, and the only thing you can imagine someone who doesn't work talking about is cleaning out their cupboards.

If you can't get someone else to talk interestingly, regardless of their position in life, it makes me suspect you're a bit of a bore yourself. Everyone's got something interesting to say, if you're listening.

Perhaps. Though with the current government stance of build build build it may be swinging back the other way. The red tape is still ridiculous though.

Such jealous bitter responses on this thread 😆 how sad!

Sounds wonderful apart from IOW. Can't have it all, I guess.

Ah right that’s why you think you’re rich. £2 million is a London semi.

DN earns well but I’d say you’re comfortably off not rich.

Do you not have anything better to do than set up a thread designed wholly for people to talk about you, and then sit by your phone/laptop waiting for another chance to talk about you?

I agree. My PIL's four bedroom house is £900k in Herts, but most Home Counties detached houses are average of around that price in naice parts of Bucks and Herts ie Amersham/the Chalfonts/Croxley etc. It doesn't mean people there are rich. Just very comfortable or middle class.

What’s your favourite pasta shape?

Because she posted on AMA so people can ask about the lifestyle hobbies dcs work or whatever.

@Iho you are getting a unreasonably hard time here , mn must not of had its afternoon nap !

Do you still think you are fairly grounded when it comes to buying things or have you bought daft stuff like gold leaf toilet roll and have diamonds on tbe soles of your shoes ( thank you Paul Simon)

£600k - is that all?!

Have you got separate finances? what would happen if you split? did you sign a prenup?

Showing off your wealth or what.

Did that make you feel better?

Yes I have equal access, I would never have quit work if I thought he would be financially abusive in any way and I'd have got a job pronto if he had proven to be.

I've asked him this question before and he said he loves me being home. We get to spend a lot of time together, I'm not stressed out from work, I can keep the house lovely and cook the type of meals there wouldn't be time to cook if I were working.

Im working class. AMA.
