Unlikely imo too

Mum2jenny · 23/05/2025 22:08

Is it really legal? Or it it pushing legal boundaries?

ByFirmStork · 23/05/2025 22:08

He is on 120k and his 27 year old girlfriend is on 180k. Banker and lawyer.

Is he off to France soon via Columbia and won’t be contactable for a week or so and has a battered old suitcase given to him by his mate “Geo” in a scabby hotel in?

Social media?

MidnightPatrol · 23/05/2025 22:09

It would probably help your thread if you explained how he came to be in this situation.

As ‘lives with ten other people’, ‘trader on the floor since he left school’, and ‘runs his own plumbing business in Wigan’ all have very different questions attached.

And the point of your post is.....

Showing off???

CandelabraCat · 23/05/2025 22:10

Why are you bragging about your son’s income?

Skooled · 23/05/2025 22:11

How does he feel about his girlfriend earning 50% more than him?

Koolandorthegang · 23/05/2025 22:11

What does AIMA mean?

WarmEvenings · 23/05/2025 22:12

Have nc’d for this.
My 26 year old earns this too.
He is a quantitative trader. His company have made an absolute fortune in the last number of weeks due to Trump’s manipulation of the stock markets.

Well that is definitely the least interesting answer you could have given to that question!

They’re relatively young but this kind of HHI isn’t that unusual among professional couples in London.

Knowing both industries well I doubt they have much time to see each other…!

Skooled · 23/05/2025 22:12

Will he take a career backseat if they have children as he is the lower earner?
