Pride? They don’t want to take a ‘lesser’ job. They don’t want to be seen as ‘failing’ at self employment.Some of these couples baffle me why doesn’t one of them get a regular job?
I thought that too, her experiences 12 years ago will be in no way relatable to people being made redundant now in the middle of a pandemic. Just felt like she couldn’t be arsed to produce new content and just recycled an old article, which she does quite oftenI read her blog post and found it extremely non-relatable. She got another job straight away. Hard to believe she was earning £16k a year in 2008. She must have had help from
her parents in that case. Not sure how you could survive on that salary for long.
I don’t know. I haven’t read a lot of her stuff in great detail but it’s seems their only income is her blog etc. & she might do some styling on the side. Her husband doesn’t work at all. By her account she’s never had a highly paid job which she could have savings from.Pride? They don’t want to take a ‘lesser’ job. They don’t want to be seen as ‘failing’ at self employment.
Denial? They are in denial about how deep the financial hole they are in is.
Unwillingness to work for anyone having been self employed for so long?
No one will employ them?
OR, it’s all smoke and mirrors and they are financially fine; savings, bank of mum & dad, the business being more successful than she lets on? It’s all just a pantomime for relatability points.
I think it’s fine too, except as you say she’s making an income by putting it out there that you can have these things if you are careful with your money. That’s my perception of her blog anyway. That isn’t the case.They'll 100% be getting help from parents. Her parents have run a successful locksmith in London for years and years and her sister has a similarly huge, beautiful house (which I think is) in London. Renovating houses anywhere but especially in London is expensive and remortgaging is difficult these days unless you have oceans of equity. Their salaries, the price of the house and the cost of renovating just doesn't add up to simply remortgaging. And I should say, that's absolutely fine. My parents helped me and I will do the same for my children but I don't think she's being transparent and if you invite people into your finances then you should be.
Agree, I got help from my Dad to buy in London and I’ll always be very grateful and also very aware of how lucky that makes me. But I’m always honest about how I managed it.They'll 100% be getting help from parents.

At first glance I thought it was bits of tin foil!Is she eating a salad with silver leaf on it??
Because it’s easier like this. Pretending they are regular folks with £2 in the bank and living day by day, but surely it’s not that bad if that’s what they choose. Plus, I am not sure how skilled they are. To get a better paying regular job over £30k you do need certain qualifications, skills and work experience, which they seem to lack outside their industry.Some of these couples baffle me why doesn’t one of them get a regular job?
If she was earning £16k in 2008 and got sacked that means their first flat was not bought with help from parents but basically bought entirely by parents for them.I read her blog post and found it extremely non-relatable.

Don't be silly, real jobs are for peasants.Some of these couples baffle me why doesn’t one of them get a regular job?
And ruffling her hair while awkwardly glancing at the camera.Gaaad that leopard dress with the shaggy hair is just a terrible look!
