Living in London is very expensive. I own a flat in Pimlico (inherited when I 20.). I contemplated moving there lots when I was younger, but quickly realised that in order to live the lifestyle I like, I’d have to work ridiculously hard. Even though she owns property there, eating in the right restaurants, wearing good quality, fashionable clothing and even taxis would cost so much. If Steph would have stayed in London, she would have had to get a job to fund her lifestyle.one thing baffles me, if Sj wanted this life why didn't she stay in London and mingle with the correct people
I guess because she would have been too ordinary, she would have tiny flat not in the correct area, maybe correct education but not correct job, and like this she is real life chateau owner, has super friends who party together all the time...
GB people could shed some light (now i miss my friend C who would explain)
By choosing to play a damsel in distress in her ramshackle castle, her friends have to come to her, send her gifts and help her out. It cuts out so many of the living expenses. We know that prior to YT she spent almost nothing on renovating the chateau. All of her money has been spent on her lavish lifestyle - one she couldn’t have had while living in London.
