Rich Housewife - AMA

[Iho]

Ask me anything.

What do you class as rich? What do you think of rich people ? Are you rich ?

Belgian Trade Mission. Quite possibly the three most boring words, ever.

In contrast I happen to love a good declutter of a cupboard.

Agree. I don't know why people are deriding this. I know heaps of wealthy people with homes on IoW. Especially if they love sailing

a few questions.
do you help out?
does he buy run down properties and do them up?
or does he purchase a block of land then develop that?
what did he do before property development?

I do as I was never a career driven person. I'm very much a homebody.

she doesn’t need to work ?

With any post there is always bashing so dont take any heed.

But what i envy in your case is that you have a husband that is faithful and loves you. Thats something to be proud and cherish, as the standards of men have really dropped these days

Hospital admin.

I mean, I'd love to not work for money, and I'd love the freedom that extra cash brings (like being able to jump on a taxi if running late, or cheering a friend up with a massive flower bouquet)

But I'd still work or do something. I can't imagine filling two days of the week with just cleaning.

Op, how do you keep your brain engaged? How do you get those synapses firing? Do you miss a level of challenge? Do you do any learning or courses etc?

More public Sector than corporate world ?

Genuine question, re why post? As in while I am not particularly wealthy, there might be things people might like to know about my life/job (as with anyone really, everyone has a story to tell) but it would never occur to me to post. So I am just wondering. You seem happy enough and I wish you all the best! x

OP must like cleaning!

I don't miss anything about work but that is probably because it wasn't a career so to speak. I grew up quite poor so not having the worry of financial troubles is so liberating.

Love that guy he is hilarious

Don't have an issue with rich people. Don't like be boastful about it. I'm definitely not rich!

She is, isn't she! Well done, OP.

He works from home most of the time so I get to see him all the time.

I appreciate that, wealth is relative. We don't live in London.

Suck up

Because the interest bank accounts on her doesn't need monitoring all the time so whilst it's building she is here posting .

grow up

We don't do direct debits no. I will donate to causes as and when, for instance the last charitable cause I gave money to was a go fund me where a young mother had a brain tumor and needed treatment in America.

It's like saying how do people keep their brains engaged doing a minimum wage drudgery job. I think having the funds to do what you like when you like might 'fire up the synapses' a bit more than the daily grind of work.

I'd just be worried it was all too good to be true but that's life isn't it, never know what can crop up.

No I don't worry as DH is rather savvy and houses will always need building. 'Bricks and mortar' and all that.

What are your thoughts on the fact that 10% of the world’s wealth is distributed amongst 90% of the world’s population? Since you have the opportunity to have so much free time and more money than the top 1% of the worlds population have you or do you help others less fortunate than yourself?
