The end-of-year holiday season punctuates with magic, but also with expense. On TikTok, Abbie, who has a salary of 26,000 euros per year as a customer service manager, was in tears while talking about her situation. Although she knows that she earns more than others, she can’t help but think that she won’t be able to please her children this year.

Usually, the British woman spends more or less 350 for each of her children aged 12 and 6. This year she can only afford less than 120 euros for both.

Abbie said: “I was in Aldi thinking that at this time of year my mum would normally stock the cupboards with Christmas goodies. Then I suddenly realized that I couldn’t do that this year. I live entirely within my means, but it’s still not enough. I don’t even make minimum wage, but once I’ve done my grocery shopping and put gas in my car, that’s basically it,” laments the single mother.
