Popular Post Rds1983 Posted September 20, 2023 VT Supporter Popular Post Share Posted September 20, 2023 It's my wife's 40th soon and I arranged a surprise get together with her uni friend's this weekend just gone. One of them volunteered that she'd paid off the mortgage on her £500k house and had just bought a brand new 4x4 Mercedes out right. She's only 39 and apparently plan's to retire at 50 and then just go travelling. Which is nice for her I guess. Would have been nicer if I hadn't had to pay for absolutely everything all weekend and she'd put her hand in her pocket at some point. 2 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

You don't have to be influential, just shallow, entitled and have botox and lip filler. Only real ongoing cost is 1kg of makeup daily. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
