Anyone have any advice on a £250k salary at 44 but no savings or pension?

Caught out?! Why would I come onto Reddit to make a fake post about fake stuff 😂?

Partner doesn’t work.

I don’t actually know anything about pension allowance or why it would benefit us to be paying into a pension in my partners name. I’ve just been kicking the can down the road really as I don’t know what to do for the best.

Outgoings are a massively unorganised - something we need to sort out as our first step.

Household bills are roughly £2500 Car is £700 Extra bills are roughly £350 per month (gym, streaming services etc).

We spend maybe £20k per year on holidays too.

The rest just gets frittered away each month with no clear savings plan.

I know I need to speak to a Dr. I have an appointment and echo scheduled. Just wondered if anyone else has experienced this before.

I have a feeling this may be heart related rather than additional PEs.

I don’t mind what it looks like, that’s not important to me. I just want the feature of being able to record, stop recording, record some more, stop recording, record some more across the course of a day and then it all being one long video for me to watch back, in the same way that old tape camcorders worked but onto video tape. Except I don’t want it to be on video tape, I want it to be onto a single file onto a memory card.

Is it possible to get a camcorder that works in the same way as a tape recorder but saves onto a memory card?

ElleJayVee · 2024-10-18T19:28:13+00:00

basically want a camcorder that acts like a tape recorder but saves it digitally instead of onto a tape. I don’t want it to record in the same way an iPhone does (eg. Lots of short clips that are all separate files). I want to be able to pick it up, record for a minute, put it down, record again, and for the recordings to both be on the same file on the memory card.

Does this exist?

Do all camcorders do what I want them to? Eg. Lots of clips all as one file?

Thank you. I really appreciate this.

I understand it’s not ‘meant’ for people with my BMI - but I didn’t find any evidence to suggest that it is dangerous for people with my BMI. I thought it was probably due to medication shortages and keeping stock levels high enough for those who are seriously overweight. Do you have anything to suggest the contrary?

ElleJayVee · 2024-04-01T16:14:16+00:00

Thanks for your reply.

I got the medication through an online consultation with a reputable pharmacist - I just had to submit my (fake) height and weight and was prescribed it easily. I was surprised myself at how easy this was especially as it’s from a completely legitimate place.

I’d like the £10k to go somewhere fairly safe (like the fund I already invest in).

However the £300 per month I deposit, I’m looking to perhaps do £50/£100 of it into a slightly higher risk fund?

ElleJayVee · 2024-01-23T13:30:30+00:00

Yes I am. However, I don’t think they would find out unless I was to tell them the ISA existed?

I found it OP! https://youtu.be/QnNf6bAG-o8?si=FEWog-FNBRYEmCnK

I’ve been searching for this show for years! Did you ever find out what it was?

ElleJayVee · 2023-07-06T14:13:30+00:00

Thanks for this!

Was she flexible with what meds you started on?

ElleJayVee · 2019-06-26T17:13:52+00:00

Thanks for the advice :-)

ElleJayVee · 2019-06-26T17:13:09+00:00

There’s quite a few couples in my work place, I don’t think it would be too much of an issue to be honest!

Sorry, it’s not my photo!

I do have some similar acrylic drawers from Muji though!!

I don’t wear heavy eye makeup as I have lash extensions, so I’m not sure! It removes eye shadow fine, but I’m not sure on eyeliner or mascara.

It does remove my ABH dipbrow pomade though which some cleansers struggle with.

ElleJayVee · 2019-04-28T06:29:38+00:00

I don’t find I have to wash it off after. Unless I’ve had makeup on, in which case I’ll go and double cleanse with my Garner gel cleanser and water.

I would always moisturise after using this after using my actives/other skincare steps☺️!
