Rich Housewife - AMA

[Iho]

Ask me anything.

That is exactly the reason we chose the cars we did.

Do you have your own boat to get to IoW or do you rely on ferries? If so, have they got any more reliable recently? We used to go lot but got absolutely fed up with all the delays. We only go there now if we are on my parents yacht.

OMG what a bunch of sour faced women on this thread.
Sounds like a great life and you are very comfortable and making the most of it.
Great that you are married, you did the sensible thing and hopefully you are protected for life. I trust your DH is a good man, you are both happy and you know where all the money is.
I am independent and the main earner, I would love to have a$2M house paid off and a holiday home on IOW (or a Greek island). I can appreciate your life.
Enjoy it, get the cleaner in and book another holiday!

Most PPs on here have obviously taken a bitch pill today .

Think she gave the answer within her reply, 🙄🧐.

What have you done to protect your future financially should your marriage breakdown?

How old are you?

You might get less hate if you post in the actually AMA subforum?

You can report your own first post and ask MMHQ to move the thread.

I love that some people don't consider this person rich!

Yes... and the trouble with people having holiday homes in UK tourist destinations is that it destroys the housing market for local people born and bred in the area who can't afford to buy or rent anywhere to live. All the 2nd homes, airbnbs and holiday lets are destroying communities, and homes are pretty much left totally empty for half the year.

I usually spend the first few days of the week cleaning the house which is quite a task. I do lots of gardening. I like cooking. I visit family. Go to the odd appointment, I've recently started having laser hair removal sessions on my legs, pits and pubes. 😅Sometimes I just have a lazy day a binge Netflix.

2 boys who are late teens. I think they have massively benefitted from me being home so I don't think they view housewives in anything but a positive light.

I would be ok in the event of divorce.

He works from home the majority of the time so we spend lots of time together.

No. All of my friends are working class girls as was I, so I like to treat them when we get together.

OP you made the cardinal sin of calling yourself rich so posters will fall over themselves to call you not rich whilst simultaneously calling you tone deaf 😆

Do you ever worry about younger women trying it on as your DH earns well?

My animals, interior design and gardening.

How do you fill your day. What is an average day for you? Do you do any charity work?
I'm so jealous btw 😂

I have a Merc and I'm a state school teacher! 😂

My thoughts exactly .

Why don't you work?

@Iho

Do you think they view working women as positively?

It’s possible, likely in fact, that they’ll meet future partners who want to work. I’d be interested in if they’d be accepting of that, particularly as they’re boys so would fall into your husband’s role here?

I suppose it is all relative. Hundreds of millions isn't just rich it is mega rich in my opinion

You are only rich on MNs if you are Jeff or Elon

What does your DH do for a living?

I used to employ an agency TA who had one that daddy had bought her 😂

@Iho do you think your DH would earn similar today if started out now because it’s so much harder to build wealth via property now?

Island life feels slower and this appeals, plus the sailing. I suppose we could have opted for a holiday home abroad but the faff of getting there was off putting.

Thank you. I meant more things like volunteering or just doing something for the local community or help disadvantaged people a bit?
How do you mainly spend your time?

It was a toss up between the IOW and Cornwall actually. Cornwall is just too far away to get to quickly if you fancy an off the cuff weekend.
