AIBU to ask if we are doing alright financially?

[Handlepop]

I’m 30 with 2 kids under 3
I am married and I work part time whilst DH works full.
The kids go nursery 3 times a week.
I am able to save £250 a month and also invest £250 a month too. I contribute £400 monthly into my SIPP as I’m self employed.

I can’t do any more than this currently as I would rather not work more than 3 days while the kids are small.

I have £40,000 invested. We have a small mortgage of around £65,000 left on our home.

My husband also had savings but he’s using them to take over an existing business franchise.

Are we doing ok as a young family?

Is the £40k you have before or after the £30k you’re giving your husband for this business opp @Handlepop ?

Yeah this. We are all working for MN. Providing free content.

I should really get off this forum.

It’s you again 🙄. This is at least the third thread I’ve read with exactly the same figures.

🙄

Oh I have read different figures

Fact is, @Handlepop probably would benefit from starting a thread, just not about money

I think it’s the third time this has been posted, at least. What are you looking for op? Reassurance? A big and envious reaction?

I think there’s “issues”

ohhh now I know the value of your home then no you’re not doing that well. We have a million pound mortgage and the house is worth around 1.6million (has a pool too 😄)I have 3 kids in private school and not a penny in savings. Am I doing ok?

I have £2.47 in my account until I'm paid tomorrow and I thought that was doing well. Making it to the end off the month without going into my overdraft I take as a win

I have £600 to last me until the 28th. All bills are paid though xXx

Is that to include food, petrol etc etc
do you have children?

I don’t think you need to ask us. You know the answer.

Are you trying to sell an dodgy online course or something?

tbh I can’t believe you only put £900 a month away and have £40k in savings. I put £1.5k away on days ending in y and have £48 million saved and I’m only 14

Humble brags are so dull

Why start a thread to brag?

That IS a win, so many people aren’t able to do this. 👏🏾

I didn't have any savings at 30. Different at 40, and now I'm late-40s I've got no mortgage and a fair bit saved but just getting through and paying the bills was my focus at 30.

Go away OP ..

Are you the same poster that keeps posting similar bollocks?

If it helps, my kids are in their 20s and in a much better financial position.

Ha ha ha, ffs

Ha, that makes sense, I didn't realise they do that, what a crock of shite. Yes they should label them as fiction.

Sometimes people feel validated by the need to let others know
