how much does your botox cost? That is one thing I want to add in.

For me right now:
I do a massage (back treatment) once a month - appx $103.50/mo.
Mani / pedi - $72/mo.
Peloton membership - $44/mo.
Clothes - $100/mo.
Laser hair removal - $187.50/mo.
I think, but I am not certain because I only paid for it once so far and I didn't keep great notes - that I pay $150 every 6 months for hair cut with new highlights for grays

I have a general health / wellness / beauty category on YNAB that I contribute $145/mo. to - things like makeup and toiletries, sunscreen, etc. for the whole family goes in there though - not just for me personally (family of 5 - 2 adults and 3 kids). I don't wear a ton of make up.

I am 42. HHI of appx. $350K.

Essentially - I have never put any effort into my looks. Basically now that I am older I am paying more to put no effort in and still look presentable

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?

My husband also makes seven figures and I spent probably $250 total last year, mostly on makeup and Cerave soap. Sucks to have to keep up appearances like that.

OP didn't ask about clothes. They asked about beauty.

That’s a lot of spray tans! Does it get all over everything? I’ve considered it but I don’t want to deal with the mess.

More than I would expect, given that i'm pretty low key and don't spend much time on beauty on a daily basis.

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.
