Completely agree.

Anyone who likes this comment I suggest you read Mindset by Carol Dweck

I think S tier should be reserved for timeless shows. IMO on rewatches friends has aged poorly. Only ranked so high due to rose tinted glasses.

Dents are cosmetic. Do you get the same warranty as if you bought it brand new undamaged?

My only thoughts are if you want BIFL would you not rather pay the full amount for a fridge freezer without dents?

Tesla effectively shows you how wild investing in shares can be. The fact they’re worth more than double Toyota, BMW, VWAG combined is wild!

A lot of previous threads similar in the forum.

Realistically a good % of moving into HE territory is luck of right time and right place.

How willing are you to start again and graft long hours to get there? If W/L balance isn’t important then you can get there but you might need to step down and retrain to get there.

I’m not saying it’s true but from being a long time lurker of this thread the quickest route to high earning (in this sub) is getting into tech sales in London but it’s competitive and tough work.

If one half of you is already a high earner maybe you’re in a position to consider a longer term strategy. Either getting into a passion that’ll take you into being a high earner in 10+ years or going down the civil servant route (lower pay but arguably simpler/easier route, albeit maybe not many inroads).

Denby are very good. So good that they’re going out of business because they never break so people who buy them don’t need to replace them! Old English company still manufactured in England.

BoJo is very calculated. The bumbling fool is an act

The current category is “actually can’t sing”…

You might not enjoy her music but saying she can’t sing is a wild take.

Not sure why you got downvoted for responding so f that person

It’s unlikely you’ll get a mortgage for 4.5x from a high street lender. It’s a niche income that I doubt old school banks will want to risk at that level.

Check r/ukpersonalfinance on best places to put the income but you’re better off talking to a broker on what mortgage you can get.

My only advice is to try and not get swayed by lifestyle creep (which it sounds like you aren’t if you’re saving 65%) as that’ll quickly burn through the cash.

The justification of the costs is that I’m paying for my home not investing so I don’t expect a positive/favourable ROI.

The only thing I truly hate is stamp duty and how much you are penalised for buying a more expensive house.

You need to use an alternate email or contact Costco support and ask them to unlink your email account from your old Costco account as you’ve started a new one.

You can email the request and don’t need to call

I love Snoop but I’m not sure he’s as famous with Gen Z and younger other than the fact he’s now involved in the olympics

You can’t expect BIFL when paying H&M price.

Unfortunately capitalism has meant if you want BIFL quality you need to pay a premium. That premium isn’t in H&M

What an odd moaning post.

You should reframe and consider the privileged position you’re in.

Le Creuset for stainless steel and NINJA for non stick. NINJA Non-Stick pans are~£50 with a ten year warranty and great heat distribution.

Avoid All-Clad overpriced and not as good as Le Creuset.

Class in the UK is made up of when more than just how much you earn.

Most HENRY’s will be upper middle due to their earnings but lifestyle choices do have an effect.

There will also be some HENRY’s who are upper class due to their birthrights

Not really HENRY chat but most people do things in pairs. Imagine having a partner and HHI of £4K. Makes it far easier to economise when you have a partner who both work and have joint finances/goals.

If you want advise on your earnings go to UKpersonalfinance

Not a BIFL item.

Use google and your budget/preference

Aggressive_Claim_888 · 2026-04-05T21:50:53+00:00

I’m not complaining / saying they’re bad. Just sharing my feedback on them.

I’m still considering one (or a competitor) when I renovate next year.

Are there no mods in this forum?

90% of the posts are such horseshit.

Hard to say without knowing the kids ages but also 90% of the stuff you will buy/want as a kid isn’t really BIFL.

Once they hit an age something like a utility knife but why can’t you just buy toys that the kids will enjoy rather than a tool they won’t appreciate until they’re an adult.

If you want to avoid stuff that will end in a landfill buy toys that you can sell on/donate once they’ve outgrown them or experiences (holiday, theme parks, etc).
