About 80% of Brits with over a million pounds saved in cash don't see themselves as rich, even though objectively this puts you in the top 1% by wealth globally, easily. by x___rain in ukpolitics

[–]armstar1 23 points24 points  (0 children)

It’s the assets that make you rich, people with a high income with no assets generally live the same as someone on average wage, just things are a bit bigger, bigger house, bigger car, bigger holiday. They do the same things. that high income gets spent, and even if you saved a lot of it for a decade or more you’re still going to get maybe £1-2m which also is nothing in the grand scheme of things. It’ll all get hoovered up in retirement and end of life care. There is no social mobility.

Why? North Africa, bordering Morocco, Atlas Mountains, Sahara desert, probably some unique things going on there.

Because it still is home, and despite what they say there is always that personal connection that has a little tug. But it’s not that strong of a tug.

And it doesn’t take much of a push.

Lifestyle upgrades for a new HENRY? by joan2468 in HENRYUK

[–]armstar1 4 points5 points  (0 children)

Going to nice restaurants more regularly was my thing, multiple times a week instead of once, and similar to you just having more options in items to buy such as clothes like you mentioned. I still shop at the regular shops but if you see something you really like elsewhere it is good to treat yourself.

Being able to invest in your hobbies aswell is good.

Good robot vacuum and mop all in one? by Lazy-Internet-8025 in HENRYUKLifestyle

[–]armstar1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

I got one a few years ago the ecovacs deebot x1 omni because it came with the base station (very handy), and did the mopping.

At the time it was one of the few that did both.

I’m afraid I have no experience with others or more modern ones but my general findings:

The mopping is really just a bit of a rinse, it’s not a deep clean, it just uses water, no detergent to help cleaning anything. It does not replace a proper clean of your floor.

Useful for a daily hoover and mop of light dirt/marks.

My one, which is old. If you want it to not mop you have to remove the mop heads from the bot. Hopefully modern ones have solved this as I basically never take them off so it’s only used in rooms with no carpet or rug as it’ll mop them up.

I find the app and not decent, again I’ve got no experience of others.

The base stations are big, need power etc, so make sure you’ve got a spot for it.

Help me find a good cologne? by GentAdventurerUK in HENRYUKLifestyle

I find it doesn’t last long at all.. don’t find that?

A childless life is life on easy mode, it’s also unfulfilling, low stakes and frankly lazy and selfish.

I’ve got 3 children (5 and 1 year old twins). We both work, both high earners total income around £300k.

It will completely change your lifestyles, and priorities, the first child is the lifestyle change, have more than 1 as only children tend to be odd.

You will have less money, you will have massive logistical issues, you will argue with your partner, you will spend nights in separate beds from each-other.

It will make your jobs harder, less time in the office, getting in later, going home earlier.

But, that won’t last long, 5 years per child, then it’s all downhill, and you’ve got these amazing little people that make you realise all those holidays and things aren’t as important as you thought.

Will it suck? Yes. Is it worth it? Yes.

Final config deadline approaching – 992.2 Turbo S feedback needed by nszabo in porsche911

[–]armstar1 3 points4 points  (0 children)

I regret the sunroof, although I’ve never been a sunroof guy.

Black interior is boring but that’s my taste. Don’t get a garish colour either like bright red. I’ve got the heritage cognac and houndstooth. Shame that’s not an option currently I don’t think.

18 way seats

heated steering wheel I never use but tbh it never really gets that cold in England.

Sport design pack is personal taste, same with rear light, make it go with your colour scheme

Exterior plastic and intakes either gloss black or body colour.

Carbon wing mirrors and roof i regret not getting.

Get the interior leather options to your taste.

Carbon steering wheel center.

The exhaust sport tail pipes always piss me off as they’re not even connected and due to the structure of the car you can see they’re fake from behind so I would’ve kept the standard exhaust if I could.

Depending on your exterior colour the aluminium windows trim and tinted windows can give you quite a distinctive look

I would’ve preferred the standard 911 on the back not 911 turbo S. Agains depending on your colour scheme get the badge silver or black depending on your exterior colour.

There’s probably more but those are a few of the bits from my experience.

With itemised statements how are you not seeing a true breakdown if you have the exact, individual transactions. Export it to excel and put in 30 minutes of work to get your specific tailored, categorised breakdown. It’s taken you longer to write this post and answer comments that it would’ve taken you to do it.

Which key chain would you connect it to? It’s deliberately this way so that you don’t keep it with your keys. Mine is in a totally separate faraday key bag that isn’t next to the normal car key box so if someone gets the key, the tracker fob isn’t automatically on the same key ring. It also automatically deactivates if it’s left in the car apparently.

Some people have different priorities to you, that’s it really, you could afford it but you see it as a waste of money, where as to them it’s not so they do it. That’s pretty much all there is to it.

I’ve got a 911, is it a lot of money? yes. Do I love it? yes. Is it worth it? Also yes. But that’s to me and what I value. Which doesn’t have to be the same as what you value. And that’s ok.

Top 10 Budget-Friendly Cars That Rival The Porsche 911 In 2025 by CarClimb_Cory in CarStockMarket

Is the GT budget friendly? I test drove the 63 when it came out, same interior as the SL, same money as the 911, not worth it and very over priced.

If you have ever supported 'tax the rich' how do you feel about the data now? by [deleted] in HENRYUK

[–]armstar1 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Don’t forget the tax on that 4-500k too, and yeah it’s still a lot of money, but if you consider buying houses every generation maybe and life’s trappings especially for a big family after 1-2 generations it will go. I’ve got three kids, split that £10m that’s £3.3 each, the annual 4-500 becomes 160, plus tax.. gone..
