HH income of £250k but we don’t feel rich?

[Bdrgvlugcbu]

Not a brag in the slightest! And wouldn’t discuss this non-anonymously.

DH earns just over £250k per year. Has fallen into the role really and is based on natural ability/talent as oppose to lots of hard work and training. He works very long hours though. I’m a SAHM to 3 young children.

Take home is approx £12k per month.

School fees: £3,000 per month
Mortgage, car and bills: £3500 per month
Personal savings £2000 per month
Kids savings: £450 per month
DH and I take: £500 personal money each per month
Leaves us with £2,000 per month for general spending, food shopping, days out, holidays, children’s clothes…

We don’t really go without, but we don’t feel “well off” by any means. Where are we going wrong?!

Oh Christ read the fucking room love

Unbelievable 🙄

Awa an boil yer heid

Obviously this is a rage post

Everything you describe is incredibly well off . You’re not going wrong anywhere , you just need to adjust your view !

I’ll be under the kitchen table in my tin helmet if anyone wants me.

🥱

😂

well done OP

You don’t have to click on the thread if you’re not interested in the topic. You can tell what the thread is about by the title…

🤣

What would it take for you to feel ‘well off?’

Go back to work 🙄

Ha ha ha ha haaaaah ahahahahhahahhahahhaaa haaaa

Maybe having lots of money left over each month?

You could get a job to up the household income?

Just spitballing but perhaps spend some of the £2k a month you currently save? Or put your kids in state school? Or buy a smaller house?

Maybe take in some ironing?

Where you are going wrong is putting savings as an expense.

Reduce your cocaine budget for starters

Yeah this.

And take your kids out of the school that’s failing to prepare them for the country they actually live in.

Writing this on MN is where you’ve gone wrong!

🙄

Well, you are in the process of having your frequently massaged-arse handed to you, obviously. But the problem is that you are bringing in £12k a month and only spending £2k of it on the essentials. You’ll be glad you saved, doubtless, and your school fees won’t last forever.

Clearly no amount of money would be enough for you OP. You are going wrong by being ridiculous.

Despite what you 'feel', you are well off.

You save £2k a month though is that not a lot leftover?
