To think these are the wealthy people habits?

[Saju1]

Not spending on perishable items..

Reads a lot..

Has a hobby...

What are others?

Chooses which one of their 5 horses, kept on their 10-acre paddock, they will take out for a ride.

Takes a trip on their personal jet to some far-off exotic location or spends a few weeks on their luxury yacht in the med.

Takes the Ferreri out for a spin.

This had to be one of the weirdest posts I’ve ever seen on MN!!! And that’s saying something…..!!

Do NOT ignore these major warning signs that you may be susceptible to heart disease:

• Have a favourite movie
• Celebrates birthdays
• Have ever read a newspaper

I suspect you don’t understand what perishable means op. And reading and having a hobby is not exclusive to the wealthy.

what an odd post.

🤣

Wealthy people are over-invested in how sharp their (many) knives are, and will name drop the brands at every opportunity.

Povos have 1 blunt kitchen knife that they use for everything.

Wealthy people don’t go outside in the rain because they will melt.

DH and i have pots of money (annual income c.250k) & you'd never know it to look at us/from our lifestyle or spending habits

@Comedycook this is exactly what I meant haha

Apology OPs!!

I have no hobbies, don't buy designer bags, don't read much. Also though, air. It must be the air.

Many people become wealthy (and retain wealth) by not pissing money away on wasting chattels, of course, this is correct.

All the poshos that I know spend at least 50% of their time fashioning novelty musical instruments out of banana skins.
Sometimes it’s as much as 58% of their time but this tends to be only those called Cosmo because they are always the most dedicated. I tried to do it once but mine was shit because I’m not posh and it was particularly embarrassing because I’d told everyone that my name was Cosmo. I wasn’t invited back.

I just want to repeat the wisdom that is T Rexing in the Supermarket.

Wealthy people eat parsnips.

Wealthy people have underwear in a colour other than white or black.

Wealthy people declare their undying love by comparing their partner to how they rate against cheese on toast

Kindle uimited costs £7.99 a month, so far this month that's about 80p a book.

Shoes on the other hand, yeah, wealthy people are definitely the ones with shoes. And goldfish - expensive little idiots who die easily (before anyone panics I'm out killing goldfish I'm not wealthy enough for that)

This thread is hilarious!

although I spent way too long trying to figure out what a John Lloyd membership was before giving up and assuming that intentionalerror probably meant David Lloyd (intentional error 😉?)

I think the Op has been on the whacky baccy and thinks she/he/they/it have just expressed something reeeaaaally deep and profound.

You haven't Op, you are just talking meaningless shite.

@RedToothBrush what is t rexing in the supermarket?

Is John Lloyd related to David Lloyd? I could Google but is nice to go old school and ask.

Perhaps John Lloyd membership is only open to the posh? Or another exclusive group like those with double jointed elbows who go deep sea mackerel fishing and always call their mum on Tuesdays.

@Saju1 its probably a bit like a Velociraptor, rapping to N’Dubz.

I’m far from wealthy and have quite a few hobbies, I also read a lot of books both fiction and non fiction.

In my line of work I deal with a lot of wealthy clients. Half of them couldn’t read a menu never mind a book 😂 And generally speaking their hobbies are golf and drinking for the men, spa days, Botox and cosmetic procedures for the women 😆

I'm both incredibly wealthy and skint. Which probably causes some kind of... thing (matrix? Ception?) whereby I don't actually exist.

I'm not convinced that belonging to a library and keeping racing pigeons are signs of wealth but convince me op!

Reading a lot and having hobbies are anyone's domain. Reading time is more governed by life and how much time you can spare. Hobbies can be cheap or expensive. Neither of these say 'wealth' to me, unless your hobby is flying planes or collecting sports cars, or something like that.

I'd argue the wealthier people are more likely to buy perishable items in the supermarket. They are more likely to be fresh items and that costs more than processed generally.

@Saju1 if you have read the responses to your first post you will see that everyone is a bit mystified. What did you mean?
