I'm a 35-year-old in HR, earning €26k, and this was my biggest financial mistake Let’s be honest, most of us are at least a little bit nosy when it comes to money. We want to know what other people are earning, how they’re actually getting by, and what their spending really looks like (not the polished version, the real one). Because who hasn’t wondered, ‘Am I the only one buying coffee EVERY single day?’ Or questioned how someone is affording the expensive car or designer bag?
