Questions welcome. He’s from a poor northern comp.

Cats, dogs and goldfish.. brilliant replies!

As soon as I saw "My son's household income" (only bit of the title visible on the main page), I knew it'd be some braggy shit 🤣

My friend was on that back in the 90s in the city. Gave it all up to run a small holding, found love and married.

Sons friend was on that in re-insurance bought houses in his home country. Packed it in at 40 .

Both careers were ultimately burn out situations.

I love these AMAs where the OP just disappears immediately. Should be called AMA, WFA…

Namechanger2578 · 24/05/2025 01:04

Why are so many posters so bitchy and rude? If you aren't interested, don't post. I really don't see the need for it.

LBFseBrom · 24/05/2025 01:25

I have no questions but just want to say, good for him! I hope he is well, happy and fulfilled. I bet you are pleased, it's lovely to see our children doing well.

BellissimoGecko · 24/05/2025 01:34

But this is his AMA, not yours. Why are you doing this?

MrsMitford3 · 23/05/2025 22:40

thank you 😂

my underachieving dog only makes £950,00 per annum on Only Dogs

Edited

Has he tried paw pictures? As I understand this a boom industry.

Annony331 · 24/05/2025 02:14

Average solicitors wage with 5 years experience is in the £45k- 50k range.

Salaried partner around the 80k mark slightly higher in London.

FullOfLemons · 24/05/2025 02:20

Ah, but how big is his danda ?

Annony331 · 24/05/2025 02:26

She does not have one.

AntaresAltered · 24/05/2025 02:28

Why tho?

Sherararara · 24/05/2025 02:56

Gosh really OP? Wow! So close to my 24 yo DS and his GF who have a household income of 301k. AMA.

Showing off???

Nobody likes a braggart.
And this looks like a brag & run.

ThatSchoolOfficeLady · 24/05/2025 04:47

Is your child happy? Do you have a good relationship with them?

Todayisaday · 24/05/2025 04:50

Definitely possible.
Combination of hard work and luck.
I know someone who was a low level trader in a big american bank, who took the wrong lift out of the office and ended up chatting to the ceo who took a shine to him, within a year he was on the path to the big bucks and now is earning insane amounts.
The lawyer salary of your sons girlfriend is about right for city firms at that age, but they work double the hours. So their salary is acrually half that on an hourley rate.
I was going to switch to law but decided against it due to the hours. Had no desire to work 16 hour days for several years. Thats why most city lawyers are a little bit unhinged (from someone that knows a fair few of them 😂)

Hahaha love that sketch!

Todayisaday · 24/05/2025 04:57

Maybe she is manifesting?

Borracha · 24/05/2025 05:04

I find it really weird that you know how mich your son earns and even weirder that you know how much his girlfriend earns.

SinicalMe · 24/05/2025 05:13

AMA but I won’t come back and answer you! Hmm

TulipCat · 24/05/2025 05:20

Does he know you have started a thread about him on the internet?

Empress13 · 24/05/2025 05:20

Yawn

Vegncream · 24/05/2025 05:26

If this is true, good for them! Most people in the UK are woefully underpaid so I’m glad to see someone is getting well paid 😆

I do find it a bit off to start an AMA and then disappear though?

JustMyView13 · 24/05/2025 05:45

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