Hello Tattle!
I'm a new member that is trying to catch up with all the Anna Bey threads.
I discovered Anna about 1 year ago and was hooked! I love everything that has with etiquette, and love historical romance books
And roleplaying. So I enjoyed watching her videos and daydreamed of living her kind of life. At first, I couldn't believe that she was from Sweden. Because... I am from Sweden. And her way of speaking was so different from other accents I have heard.
But, her being Swedish just made my interests bigger. And guess what? We are born the exact same year! So I really had one person to compare my life against hers with.
When she first started to do letters and videos about the first reboot of her course last year, was I soo hooked! Yes, I was going to buy it. How much could it be? 100 euros? Hmm.. I can buy it even if it is 200 euros, I thought. Just for fun.
I'm from a typical Swedish lower-middle-class family that is continuing to live just that. I have a little house, a husband, one kid, cats, a university degree in social work, I can splurge this course upon myself.
But when I saw the price? Good lord. That couldn't be, right? But it was. And, yes, I have the money for it. But I would NEVER pay that amount! Just think of how many computer games I could buy instead, that would give me more pleasure if you go by time.
It was never about trying to elevate my life for me, just to have something to do. Watch some videos, perhaps get tips. And this price was outrageous. Still, I got the Fear of missing out by all her e-mails. And still do. Even after been reading here. She knows how psychology works.
I still compare my life to hers, easy when you come from the same country and are the same age. But I'm more fascinated now, than envious. My life is just lower middle class... but hell... that much more stable than hers... And without bearing my breasts...
I will continue to read here. And watch this train-wreck to its end.
Thank you everyone for all of what you do here, spreading this knowledge.
