How much did you spend last year

[Anonymous]

hmm, interesting

42
HHI about $180k
gym+pool memberships: $1600
haircut: $120x3 = $360 + $20 color = $380
retinols/creams/cleansers/SPF: about $300
makeup: maybe $100

yoga with adriene: free on youtube (probably most responsible for fitness level).

It seems like a lot but it's fitting for our status and lifestyle. Some months it's less, other months more.

DH makes over 7 figures. I am a SAHW/M.

I'm 45.

Lol. Hon, you're a housewife. You have no status. Your DH does.

You sound kind of jealous, status can be either social or professional.

NP what professional status does an unemployed person have?

NP but I assume the money kind?

Kind of unfair to loop in the gym with plastic surgery.

I don't think so? It's all personal improvement imo.

Hair: about $700 for 2 colors and 3 cuts a year (I did less than this last year but should do that much ideally).

Botox: About $1,200 for the year (4x)

Makeup, Skincare, Shampoo, Lotions, etc...: probably $500 or $600 for the year

I do not get my nails done, or get spray tans, or belong to a gym, but we do have gym equipment at home.

I am sure I am forgetting a splurge here and there or a one off pedicure or massage. So maybe $3K a year?

41, HHI is a bit above $400K.

But $600 on botox every 4 months = $1800
$250 on hair cut and color every 8-10 weeks = around $1300
Gym = $20/month = $240
I have been trying to find the right combo of tret and moisturizer over the last year, so probably spent $500 last year on that
Other random makeup maybe $200. Maybe less?
$150 on a nice shampoo/conditioner brand
I spent $400 total last year on a couple treatments to get some spider veins zapped from the side of my nose.
No nails, facials, dental, or other random stuff. So I guess $4000 or so? Seems like a lot, but it's not a lot of appointments (less than 10 appts a year, for hair and botox), and I spend about 3 minutes a day on actual beauty stuff - wash my face, apply tret? People on this thread are going to say that, despite my claims above, i'm not low key, but i really feel like i spend way too little time on this and look disheveled most days. DH spends way more time (and maybe more money) on beauty than I do, and I wouldn't consider him super high maintenance either!

HHI around $2m, my income is around $1.2m of that.

Want to share??? I was just thinking this morning that I need a new moisturizer to pair with my tret. I have the perfect strength tret now for myself.

Hm, I have to think about this…
$500 on botox 4-5 times/year.
$250 on hair (balayage) 3-4 times year.

Those are my two biggest ones. Other than that, I spend ~$300 (annually) on a couple at home workout subscriptions (this is as much a product of scheduling as it is saving $$ on a gym membership), and maybe $20-50/month on makeup/lotion etc. I’m honestly not much of a clothes shopper; I really should spend more on clothes but I don’t enjoy the process and I’m lazy/busy

This sounds very similar to me. Our HHI is about half of that, though

Ozempic - $6,000 (and worth every penny)
Haircut every 6 weeks and highlight every 12 - $1500?
1 BBL treatment for discoloration - $500
Pedicures about 1x/month - $750
Cosmetics - maybe $400?

So $9-10k total?

HHI is over $1m

You should really try to change your diet and lifestyle than fall back on Ozempic.

DH here in a similar lifestyle. My wife definitely has status. Her intellect, heart, kindness stand on their own. I would be where I am without her support. She is a lot smarter than me. And she is not ashamed to use the word housewife nothing derogatory about it.

Peloton sub + regular personal trainer - $5000

Blow-outs for various events - $400

HHI $800K, pretty evenly split between me and DH. I am in my mid-30s and would like to start adding botox and fraxel into my routine but haven't done enough research yet...

[Anonymous]

Wow this is all very eye opening! I spend probably $1000 total a between lotions/serums/peloton and an occasional pedicure.

HHI - $650,000

I think the thing that helps the most is that I am Asian. Can’t Botox or serum away genetics.

Well she also has a husband hanging out on a beauty and fashion board on the middle of the workday so
