She also couldn't sit up at all and now all of a sudden she can do that tooHalle has gone from not taking to weaning to having French toast in the space of a week
She won't take George out of nursery, She will be getting 30 free hours now so she won't give that up and even if she decides not to go back to work she will still get 15. I think she's using it as context for something to talk aboutIf she did give up work she’d have no nursery fees (would be better for George to still be in nursery part time for his sake though) wonder if ash would have to pay exactly half what childcare would cost down to the penny to her if she did cancel nursery!
She’ll still get 30 for him as long as she’s earning over whatever the minimum is that you need from her YouTube ad revenueShe also couldn't sit up at all and now all of a sudden she can do that too

The issue was probably more about how much her costs will increase once she also puts H into nursery as her maternity leave runs its course, and whether with two children in childcare it made more financial sense for her to go back part time, full time, or not at all.She also couldn't sit up at all and now all of a sudden she can do that too

While I completely agree that the cost of childcare is ridiculous, she probably begrudges having to pay for it at all (don't we all but we know it's not so just deal with it) But yes she could easily have put her "extra" maternity pay towards that. However I sense she probably had to do it as their finances were probably still split 50/50 while she's been on mat leave. Which is ridiculous to me.But with so much spare income, couldnt she just use it to pay for nurseries?
This 100,000 times over!!She's not passionate about savings, she's passionate about having money
I'm really passionate about aerospace engineering too. I have never done a degree (or ay type of course) in the subject, or spoken to any advisors or experts. But I am very passionate. I have however watched loads of TV shows and youtube videos on the topic.So I'm ill in bed so just watched the new vlog, I was hoping it'd help me fall asleep.
I have very basic savings knowledge (my husband deals with that side) but she said George has £3500 in his stocks and shares ISA at the moment by putting in £80/month for the last 3 years. Without interest, 80 times 42 months is £3360 so she hasn't made much money out of it so far. I get it's a long term investment but it's also dependent on the market so it's a bit hit and miss really. If he also had a Cash ISA, fairly sure he'd have more money than that already which she could put some of that money into her stocks and shares one if she wanted?!
She claims she's "passionate" about savings but basically just talked about one particular type of savings account and shared an online calculator that shows projected money from your savings without explaining it into simple terms for people that have zero understanding. She also said she used moneysavingexpert, which is what most people tend to do anyway. She probably thinks she's Martin LewisShe's not passionate about savings, she's passionate about having money
Not defending her (because I'd hate to do that), but there is nothing wrong with saving for your child's future. In fact it has been a criticism of Shan that has been discussed in previous posts how she has never mentioned G's savings.Haven’t watched it and won’t watch it but what’s the point in stashing all this money and not spending any of it towards their actual chidlhood? I’m sure the kids would rather have wonderful memories of their childhood and been on lots of trips/holidays with their parents to look back on fondly rather than them having the most miserable childhood but a stash of money.
Yes I know their is nothing wrong with saving for your child’s future, but I don’t think that should not be in place of spending it on their actual childhood and depriving them memories/taking them nice places when you can afford to do so (maybe I should of said that in the initial post) We manage do both so i’m more than sure she will be able to do that too, which she absolutely doesn’t. As I said I haven’t watched the vlog and don’t intend to so don’t know how much she is saving but just my opinion.I'm really passionate about aerospace engineering too. I have never done a degree (or ay type of course) in the subject, or spoken to any advisors or experts. But I am very passionate.

Would you trust me to give you advice as to how to make a rocket?

In this day and age, unless you are loaded, if you want your kids to have a good education, or even a down-payment for a house in the future you have to start saving for them now. I don't think putting £80 aside a month is a lot of money, but I am sure that depends on each family.
She chooses not to go on trips, and I don't think that's out of lack of funds, but lack of a personality.
I don't even know you and I think I'd trust you'd give more detailed and useful information in how to build a rocket than Shan did for explaining anything in her savings vlog.I'm really passionate about aerospace engineering too.

Ah ok - I honestly don't think she is saving to deprive them now. She spends a fair bit on cr@ppy toys for G and Halle only so she can later the amazon kickbacksYes I know their is nothing wrong with saving for your child’s future, but I don’t think that should not be in place of spending it on their actual childhood and depriving them memories/taking them nice places when you can afford to do so (maybe I should of said that in the initial post) We manage do both so i’m more than sure she will be able to do that too, which she absolutely doesn’t.

The list is endless. So much to do with toddlers that they will love, but no, if George is lucky enough to be taken anywhere it’s to the same old soft play week after weekAh ok - I honestly don't think she is saving to deprive them now. She spends a fair bit on cr@ppy toys for G and Halle only so she can later the amazon kickbacksI think she doesn't like or want to do family holidays or experiences. Even if we all know it would help her content.
I've taken my kids to a Gruffalo trail, the Zoo, aquarium, beaches, and all sorts of different experiences. Shan either doesn't like those or hasn't got the creativity to think of things to do!
