‘I sometimes feel guilty about my very expensive hobby’

Doing everything fifty-fifty: that is the agreement that Elke and Pim made with each other, but now and then he jumps in if there are extra costs.

Each: “Pim and I do everything fifty-fifty, because we earn the same amount. He also makes an extra contribution if there is a shortage of money and he usually pays for the holidays.

I have a horse that costs 600 euros a month and a student loan. It was once 48,000 euros, of which I pay off 300 euros per month. So I have less every month.

Hobby

I do feel silly sometimes. Because I am both the one with a generous student life and the one with a very expensive hobby. Anyway, since Pim is with me, he also buys bottles of whiskey of 500 euros or more. Because compared to the costs for the horse, everything is not so bad. A while ago my horse had to rehabilitate for three months in a clinic. Cost: 5000 euros.”
