Rich Housewife - AMA

[Iho]

Ask me anything.

Thanks. I think I'm quite aware of the struggles of everyday life as I see it with friends and family. I also grew up quite poor so I understand what living pay cheque to pay cheque feels like. The cost of living being what it is, I appreciate people are struggling to buy groceries, it's disgusting what a carrier bag of food costs these days.

Locals dislike second home owners for good reason, but it is often locals selling their properties to outsiders so that makes them responsible in a way too. I don't feel too awkward as our holiday home was a new build specifically targeting our type of custom and in the price range that most people on the island couldn't have afforded anyway, so I don't feel like we stole a family home if you see what I mean. The neighbours are also second home owners so we can be a bunch of wankers together without too much judgement.

Why are you such a snob?

Yes.

will you help pay towards me being able to get the electric wheelchair I need?

To the nearest £10k, how much did you give to charity in the previous tax year?

Who did you vote for in the last gen election?

How dare you! It's nearer to Southampton and Lymington!

Money doesn’t change your class. You keep referring to having once been working class but I reckon you still are.

She chose a specific leather for the interior which was done in the factory. No idea what the mechanic did? My DB did tell me but it was just meaningless words.

Snob? Oh calm down 😁

Sounds like a nice life , not excessive.
Do you ever hesitate before spending any money just on yourself ?

She might not want to live there. I think the houses there look like glorified Barrett homes.

Not really on to ask. Imagine there are plenty of people needing help but I don't think that's what this thread is about..

If you don’t spend your £650k plus income on anything other than the basics you must have loads of it in savings, you can’t be that out of touch to think hundreds of thousands of pounds in income and savings means you’re barely comfortable?

@Arraminta It is about poverty and nutrition. Sorry you think that so boring that no-one should spend their time on it

Retinol serum. I do get botox.

No, we have a joint account and credit card account.

I love history so we tend to stay in suites at Hand Picked Hotels.

We hire villas when we go abroad so I can't really recommend any hotels.

£10k for a week in France.

11,000.

11000 square foot for just £2million??

mind blowing

I'd love a holiday home on the IOW, it's a beautiful peaceful place. But then it's where my family is from so it will always be home to me

To elaborate, those born into wealth can be irritating in their ignorance of normal life for the majority.

sorry this is hilarious she likely lives in a reasonable sized house somewhere in the south: 4 beds and a couple of bathrooms. She’s not having to manage an estate and grounds 😂

8 bedrooms and 11,000 sqft is fairly extensive IMHO

Exactly. Or maybe the question is more - does your husband get bored of your inane convo about housework and cooking? Would you not like a mentally stimulating job to give you something to talk about?

Ok 11k sq ft for £2m - where on earth do you live?

I lived in a 7k sq ft home a few years back and we downsized - it was too much for where we were and what we needed. We had 6 bedrooms, all ensuite with walk in wardrobes, 5 reception rooms, staff accommodation gym, offices etc etc

What is your favourite random/interesting room? You know the one no one else has and is slightly redundant but brings you joy.

Sheila Bloom?

Yes you’re right it’s huge. but weirdly cheap.

My post crossed.

Thanks.

I'll send you my bank details. 😉
