Curious what people's burn rate is?

Quote surprised that mine is circa £13-15K per month. That's without any debt payments and kids (young adults) living at home (19 & 21) both working 1 part time, the other fulltime and both paying peppercorn rent (£200 per month each)

Don't lead an mega extravagant lifestyle, but do have 2 horses and normally do a full championship season of racing, with a few holidays.

I'd imagine that's beyond most people's comprehension to be honest but you get used to a certain lifestyle and it's hard to tone it down I guess.

Tell me about it. With the second yacht I bought I’m knocking on £20k.

Burn rate? Do you just mean monthly spending, or how much you are burning through savings/capital?

Count yourself lucky OP, 15K just about covers my monthly caviar bill.

It was quite high, but what with the second helicopter it's getting out of control.

I don’t think it was a brag which is the funny thing (if it was you’d pump those numbers up surely) where he lost me was that owning horses and taking them all round the country was something most people would relate to.

Those are rookie numbers.

I miss the cringe thread. It should be reinstated.

May as well just start a 'How big are your wife's tits / How hard was your dad when you were at school?' thread and be done with it.

£20k barely covers the fuel bill for flying the hookers to my private island, then there's the bill for the coke* and champagne...
