Well it’s odd because you don’t actually clarify your monthly wage

Spottyshirt · 13/02/2025 08:57

You…. Rent???

Bluevelvetsofa · 13/02/2025 08:57

I’m hoping you’re a high earner!

So neither of you save anything?

and you live in rented accommodation?

interesting

FanofLeaves · 13/02/2025 08:58

Sorry what’s this for exactly? You have spent more than £500 on misc crap you have no idea about, it’s hardly going to resonate with the vast majority at the moment is it.

warmcatsofa · 13/02/2025 09:00

Yawn

Fastingandhungry · 13/02/2025 09:00

🥱

Aposterhasnoname · 13/02/2025 09:00

You earn that much and rent!!! And don’t save!! Wow!

The op does not clarify what she earns

only she she rents and doesn’t seem to save a bean

DroppedOff · 13/02/2025 09:02

Wow you spend a lot of money! Is that a normal month for you?

boulevardofbrokendreamss · 13/02/2025 09:02

What do you want from this?

dontcryformeargentina · 13/02/2025 09:02

Luxury lifestyle

MoodySky · 13/02/2025 09:03
  1. Why on earth did you want to post this?
  2. Read the room.
Lovesea658 · 13/02/2025 09:03

Too much!😧

LoafofSellotape · 13/02/2025 09:04

£181 on coffees?!

NormasArse · 13/02/2025 09:04

😂

Lentilweaver · 13/02/2025 09:05

Are you looking to save money or just posting randomly?

tilligan · 13/02/2025 09:07

What do you want to get from this post?!
As others have said, read the room

Fetchthevet · 13/02/2025 09:08

Well if this is real you do spend a lot of money on unnecessary stuff, don't you? What a waste.

HiptotheHopp · 13/02/2025 09:08

So you're rich and have a luxury lifestyle, and rely on a man to support you. Did you want a medal?

Ohshutupcolinyoutwat · 13/02/2025 09:08

Why would we want to know a random persons spend? Are you trying to brag or am I missing something?

tilligan · 13/02/2025 09:08

I opened thread expecting some useful info about making ends meet....

Anonym00se · 13/02/2025 09:08

£1300 on beauty treatments? You do realise that you could improve your inner beauty for free? It’s much more important than aesthetics. You could start by not posting tone deaf posts on the internet with the sole intention of winding people up.

That little nugget of advice will be £2000, please.

invisiblebark · 13/02/2025 09:09

£1300 on beauty? In a month? Blimey. That's obscene.

Huckyfell · 13/02/2025 09:09

£4550 on kids, you shouldn't bring them into the world if you can't afford to look after them properly. You need to look at your priorities and if struggling to make ends meet, don't neglect the kids.
