haha, why? What year is it, 1950?

They are hardly reckless with their money. Rhiannon is entitled to spend it on whatever she wants - she's hardly dropping hundreds every week on fast fashion like other youtubers, or buying wasteful things for Delilah. She buys quality over quantity.

I just spent £120 on a bathmat - if my OH told me what to spend MY money on he'd be thrown out.
It's his money that he earned. She doesn't contribute financially at all.

As already said, it’s her money, I just think it’s breath taking how everything she buys is in the higher price bracket! Someone said she doesn’t buy fast fashion, I disagree, she used to buy a lot of clothes, wear them once then sell them on, all online so you have 2x delivery trips on top of the production of the item. She has deliveries on nearly every vlog, all the daily food shop in M&S , the daily coffee/sandwich, family food, Delilahs clothes/shoes, she spends a lot. Neither her or Doug smoke, drink a lot etc and personally I love her style, but it just blows my mind how she affords it, if she really does earn around 40/50k yearly for doing the amount of work she does then wow!

Cos she doesn't have a job so how can she contribute - a bloody money tree out the back? Cop on to yrself.
You seem quite tetchy! YouTube and her affiliate links will draw in some in some income but, how couples choose to organise finances (and childcare for that matter) is up to them and them alone. It has absolutely nothing to do with you nor me for that matter.

So Youtube doesn't count?
Not producing one vlog every blue moon , no that's not a job

You don’t seem to understand how social media works....

affiliate links, ad revenue

even if she “only” produces a video week that’s an awful lot of editing

so yes it is work - otherwise if it’s not work why on earth would influencers do it? 🤦🏻‍♀️😂

Omg I understand how it works. An awful lot of editing? One vlog? And she doesn't do a vlog a week more like one a month if that. Her kid is either at school or the childminders. Affiliate links produce next to nothing unless you have tonnes of followers which she hasn't. She doesn't do many ads either.

Instagram ads can pay handsomely.

Kids haven’t been at school for a long time so that’s irreverent in pandemic timed and Delilah wasn’t school full time pre COVID.


She averages around 40,000 views a video and most links have affiliate links and are well priced items. 40,000 views is a decent amount.

I took some photos today for my Instagram. It spent 30 minutes taking the photos and then about an hour editing them all. For one photo.

For a weekly vlog she must take hours of footage. Literally hours upon hours. That all needs sorting through, splicing together, subtitles for Delilah added, music needs to be found, thumbnails take time to edit. So yes it is work. And yes it does take a long time.

Are you her keeper or something. You're definitely on the wrong thread. Fan page is elsewhere. Jog on ....

Their house is lovely and homely but not fancy and neither is their car. They don’t have big holidays abroad, regular trips away, big nights out or eat out often so I would assume their outgoings aren’t insane.

So £40 on one mug or £200 on a jumper once a month or so is all relative. They probably have a comfortable disposable income because they don’t spend it all on crap.

to put it into perspective - I would image her ‘wages’ from her job are similar to mine...(basing this off of how much she could charge for stories, plus YouTube and affliate link revenue so I might be totally off here but she’s not showing it off at all like you tubers buying HUGE homes and driving round in range rovers).

my salary is £43k gross - my net salary paid into my bank each month is about £2,500 (after tax, NI, pension etc) - when you take off my outgoings: mortgage, bills, petrol, car, food etc im left with about £1,150 per month disposable income. I’m
not fruggel with my money at all!

I am super spenny - £500 a month in a holiday fund/weekends away. I have nights out, I eat out or have take away a lot, we good shop at M&S/food boxes etc. I’m always skint at the end of the month as I fritter it away. I will find away to spend my last £1.

I spent £120 on a bathmat last week 😂

my point is - regardless of what she earns they don’t have big outgoings - I think she’s quite frugal and careful with what they spend their money on - I can’t image them having loans or being in debt so their disposable income might be pretty darn good even if her salary is relatively ‘normal’ for influencers.

so spending what seems like a lot of money on one good quality jumper that will last many seasons/years and that’s maybe the ONLY item she buys that month really isn’t a lot and would be relative to her income - it’s not like she’s buying 10x expensive jumpers a month (ahem Anna Edit)
Everyone's perception is different but I wouldn't say Rhiannon is 'frugal'. I mean, she once spent £100 on a toilet paper holder..!

I agree she isn't frugal!! I will say she's smart about her purchases. She's slow in deciding and doesn't just buy something quick to fit a need. I would say she's thoughtful in what she buys.

She is but also not if that makes sense, she will spend a lot of money on an item and either that’s all she wears, or it’s never seen again until it appears on her Depop for half the value. I actually like her and agree with all saying it’s up to her as it’s her money, just blows my mind really how she affords it.

I think she spends daft money on ridiculous items, and could definitely make at least one video a week, especially now Delilah will be back at school. But affiliate links and ads clearly bring in enough money so if she wants to carry on being lazy so be it - I just know I’d be bored out of my mind doing as little as she does!

Nope nope nope nope nope. Even if she was a stay at home mum, technically not earning any money herself, it would be THEIR money. She is more than contributing by doing all of the childcare, cooking, and what looks like the majority of the cleaning. This is such an outdated view. It’s not his money, it’s theirs.

I agree with you on this, however whenever she talks about things ( such as the coffee machine), she said they went 59/50 £300 each, so it’s fair to assume they have separate input into the house. As you said though, she contributes In other ways.

Although I am often baffled/jealous of how much she spends on certain items, I think some people are grossly underestimating how much influencers earn! She may not have a 'normal' job but I bet she's earning more than most people her age.

Like others have said, she doesn't spend money on booze, nights out etc so might have saved a lot over the years that she was creating (and likely earning) more.

Also, totally agree that it is THEIR money. She does the lion's share of providing care for Delilah and looking after the house (not that she should have to, of course) so I'm sure Doug isn't that arsed about her blowing a grand on an aesthetically pleasing oven glove.

Yeah must pay handsomely - she only posted 4 ads last year, none so far this year.

From her youtube stats she'll earn max £3.6k a year from video views.

And I doubt affiliate links bring in much extra.

Money aside, I'd just get bored if I was her.
