To think you actually need 2k a week to live on?

Post bills/house etc?
For a brilliant quality of life?

Perfect week stuff as in fun activities, no budget. Food shopping throwing everything in the trolley - lots of easy food. Being able to order Ubereats whenever you fancy ?

Yep - we’re all adults with the ability to chose what we read and how we spend our time. Maybe it’s time you did something you find more productive given you have no right to demand that every thread is centred around MNers trying to help each other.

Fuck me, people are snarky today. Maybe it’s the weather.

So if this is after my mortgage and bills are paid (assuming insurances, travel, car, utilities, food etc etc all taken care of).

I would increase my cleaner to at least 3x a week instead of once.
I would have someone come to my house once a month and do a full refresh - hair, wax, eyebrows, nails, tan, Botox once a quarter.
Every weekend would be some kind of booked trip or activity with the whole family - theme parks, lodges.
Stash some towards an exotic holiday (or two).
Buy clothes and totally upgrade my wardrobe.
Dinner out at least twice midweek.
Probably get a language tutor.

Just depends on so many things: age, where you live, mortgage size, kids and what you prioritise. We have a lot less than that and have a good life and can afford the things we want.

This is exactly what having two grand a week to spare looks like. Private school, sailing, horses, dogs, Range Rovers.

The OP dreams of a life of endless uber eats, fags and weight loss jabs.

Never has a thread highlighted the difference between rich and poor.

I have just over half that amount per MONTH before rent, bills etc, as do many many people, so if thats what you've got you're doing very well, enjoy!

I know what you mean re the ability to simply choose nice food you fancy without fretting about the cost!

Would be so nice just to be able to do that for one week!

I know people are only dreaming etc on this but as someone who has over 1k leftover per month, I can tell you that you still budget things. I don’t shop at m&s, we get take away once a week at best. I don’t spend 250 on clothes or jewellery either. 🤣We save 2.5k per month because that’s what you have to do to cover things and have financials covered in case of job loss etc.

Only if you're stupid/gullible / goady.

You said "need". Not "Wouldn't it be great to have £2k per week".

I am dead if so

I have around 300.00 a month to spend on myself, and the majority of that ends up going on things the dc or dog need .. Just an extra couple hundred a month would leave me feeling rich..

I manage on less than half of that a month.
I would feel super rich on £2k per week. But they say the more you have, the more you spend.

Then you’d spend it all on private healthcare to alleviate the problems from eating all those takeaways and ‘ciggies’ !🤣

Uber eats ? I'd eat at Michelin * restos with that sort of money.

My "perfect" life would cost a shedload more than that, but I am happy enough on what i do have

Oh yes please.

We all have a fantast life 🙄

Since when were there 43 weeks in a year? 😆

I think 2k is a lot maybe like 1k instead if I ever win the lottery or something..

No, YANBU.
👍

Is this satire?? I live on £2500 a month.

2k wouldn't be enough for a whole family to do that though.

Meh, it would be wasted on the kids anyway

I would love that. I’d probably resemble the deceased Pete burns from all the cosmetic tweaking, have a house full of unneeded clothes, it would be fun, especially if I had 2k after bills. We usually have 200 after all bills are paid.

I wouldn’t call “ciggies” a treat. If you can’t afford them, don’t smoke them.
