What do you consider a treat?

What do you consider a treat?

No right or wrong answer here - because it will mean different things to different people.

On another thread I have stated that a takeaway coffee or a basic chain lunch is more functional than a treat for me. I am not saying that it isn't a treat to others.

It was even suggested because I went shopping for a chopping board it was a treat.

So what does a treat look like to you?

I googled it, and seems readily available!

You’re absolutely making something out of nothing . I said I carefully read unusual posts and decide what the OP ‘s issue is.
I’m not a psychologist etcetera but am interested in people’s posts.
I draw common sense conclusions ( not being a psychologist etcetera etc).
It’s just common sense to say that a person who keeps boasting about their money in front of people who have less has low self worth. This is well known.
Your reaction is so unreasonable and over the top that another piece of ‘faux intellectual ism’ occurs to me:
You’re going in for some misogynistic ageism here and showing your aversion to the opinions of older women.
What would a properly qualified psychoanalyst make of that, eh?

alas, no. It was discontinued a few years ago and it’s difficult to get hold of. I’ve seen some dupes online (and got caught out by a fake one on eBay, unfortunately), but I haven’t tried them so can’t speak on how accurate they are.

Hit dog hollering, I see.

It’s weird that you think every thread, on a site that was, incidentally, started by middle class/wealthy women that primarily appealed to the same, has to cater to those on a lower income.

Anyone bothered by OP having more money than them, is of course free to not subject themselves to threads they cannot relate to and/or find upsetting. Arguably this is a better course of action than trying to police what other posters can talk about.

Once again , no relation to anything I’m actually saying.
This exchange is completely futile,

I would say it's actually the opposite, nobody is bothered by OP having more money. OP seems to make a point of going out of her way to tell people how much more she's got than them. She goes onto budgeting threads just to tell them how much money she's got and that she'd hate to live like the posters who have to budget

I know the thread you are talking about, and that isn't what happened.

So what did happen?
Please enlighten us.

I can't remember the exact amounts, but the OP was asking if x amount of pounds was enough for two weeks or whatever it was.

As usual the OP was jumped on with "that was loads."

I sympathized with the OP that it wasn't loads,. and wished her luck.

An empty house.

That wasn't even the thread I was talking about but that's a good example. The OP had £200 a week spending money just to cover food and other bits for one adult and a small child, and this OP repeatedly kept telling her that was nothing and she was going to have a shit time because OP spends £200 a week on fuel driving her children to their hobbies, and can't have any fun without money and couldn't possibly imagine that not everyone is in the same position as her

She got a hard time, I stuck up for her.

You've got a funny idea of sticking up for someone if your idea of it is telling someone how miserable their life is going to be with a completely normal amount of spending money

As usual on MN if you are used to more than a jam sandwich a reused tea bag you get jumped on. The OP was getting jumped on from all directions.

The below is my reply to her word for word.

No I would ignore those who say its loads.
I hope you do okay, and all the best.

That sounds lovely!
