Watch me spend my entire monthly January wages

[user263758918]

I've never gone line-by-line before in my bank statement before

Just thought you'd all want a nosey 👀

Food: £337.15 (mid week top-ups)

Coffees/cafes: £181.30

Lunches and dinners out: £242.43

DC: £4,550 (this includes school fees broken down to a monthly number, lunches, weekends with DC like Harry Potter world as an example, kids activities like gymnastics etc, paid for by term but broken down to the month)

Beauty: £1301.20 (waxing, Botox, hair colour, etc)

Shopping: £216.39 (new ballet slippers for DC etc)

Misc. £545.27 (things I had no idea what they were on the line item)

Private dental work: £981.63

DH pays rent, bills, running the cars/petrol, insurances, date nights, nights out, holidays, savings, weekly "big shop" and everything else.

The OP isn't British and presumably hasn't lived here long enough to realise that here it's regarded as extremely vulgar and crass to boast about how much money you earn and what you spend it on. I expect she comes from a culture where flashing your money round and plenty of conspicuous consumption is the norm and seen as aspirational.
I have no problem at all with high earners on this forum detailing income and expenditure if it's relevant to their particular query or question, but this OP isn't doing that, she has nothing to ask, she's simply listing her expenditure which seems utterly pointless.

That's nice dear

We also have to consider that this is the internet and what OP has listed may not be true 🤔. Perhaps she’s bored 🥱

What a waste of money. It's strange that people working in finance seem to be shockingly bad at managing their own finances.

Not even a Stealth boast
More a... Boast boast.

Take it with a pinch of salt folks. There are so many Billy Bullshitters on here and I highly suspect this is one.

Maybe OP will hop back on a flight home, don't think she got the reception she expected. 😂

Why did you think people would ‘want a nosey’?

Do you find yourself so fascinating that you think other people would want to know the minutiae of your spending habits?

How strange.

Coffees and cake £181.30! You must be propping up someone's business 🤔

Me: ground coffee from supermarket (my share of bill with DH) about £10

soya milk for coffee: about £10

cake: £00.00

Well, I feel better about spending £40 on a Joseph Joseph veg chopper.

It really is.

If this is true, you need to catch yourself on, OP.

There's wars in this country. Kids living in poverty.

How beautiful (or ugly) could you possibly be that warrants spending £1,300 a month on beauty treatments.

And I know, you earn it, you can spend it how you want.

But come on. It's obscene. And unnecessary.

You SPEND nearly £8.5k a month - Jeez.

I think you should reign the spending in. 1000 pounds on beauty in a month? I might spend that on beauty in a year, but probably not even.

Envy? Can't see another reason! That's a lot of coffee and cafes.

Wow

what a gloaty, pointless thread

Oh she's read it. That's why she posted it. 🙄

I think it’s from the bank app, mine sometimes doesn’t have a bucket for stuff and says misc . I think she’s just copied and pasted what the app says.

Your beauty bill blows me out the water though so it all evens out!

Yeah, I definitely smell BS! That’s not even the household take home, that’s just OPs.

And yet she still has time to fit in all her beauty appointments, lunches and coffees galore and shopping trips where she spends £500 (on things she doesn’t even know). All whilst being a ‘bottom feeder’ at her company. It all sounds very great but it just isn’t adding up for me.

OP, what is your actual monthly salary?

What a braggart you are OP. Fuck off and have some awareness.

Does anyone else have a mental picture of the OP? Mine's unflattering.

Well I’ve just spent 99p in Aldi on their reduced shower gel which I think is a dupe of the L’occitane one, as my treat for the week.
You don’t really need to know that; just wanted to post a stealth boast 😁

I topped up from Waitrose over Lidl this week

Read the room. Some of us can’t afford that level of luxury 😉

Also OP why do you rent? I understand why I and many others rent but you seem like you earn enough to be on the housing ladder unless this is a spoof post?

I see no issue renting with kids - I did not live in a home with a mortgage until after I had left for uni (was raised in rented housing association property).

But if I could spend £4k a month on school fees and misc kid expenditure plus 1k on beauty - best believe I would have my own property!
