Disillusioned when earning 150k

I know these threads cause trouble, but this is how I feel. I can’t help but wonder when does the merry go round stop. It is worth it waking up crack of dawn, kids to breakfast club, nursery, after school club, run home, make dinner, bed, bath. Glass of wine because I’m exhausted.
if I stayed at home I’d save 20k on commuting, wraparound childcare, cleaner, gardener, etc.
fine, I can afford a house, but the maintenance, the upkeep, the bills.
not sure why I’m ranting. Know I’ll get pulled to
pieces. Just exhausted

I’m loving the people avoiding tax in this thread while bashing the less fortunate

There is nothing wrong with avoiding tax - and nobody is 'bashing' the less fortunate.

Yes there is in my opinion. If it’s not ok in yours then you should be ashamed of yourself

Deleted because it’s irrelevant as someone revived a dead thread

You’re rich and you’re moaning about your life choices !
change it then - that’s what money gives you - choices.

Your kids won’t care if they live in a big house . But they will know if their mum is never around .
