A WOMAN has hit back at critics who questioned why she shops at discount stores but drives a Ferrari.
Mortgage advisor Saira Haider regularly shares videos on her TikTok page giving advice to others, but regularly faces criticism from trolls about her choice of car considering the rest of her outlook on life.
“Why’s she shopping at Aldi if she drives a Ferrari?” one person questioned, with Saira responding in another TikTok video.
“I was waiting for someone to pick this post up and say, ‘She shops at Aldi but she drives a Ferrari?
“She flies on EasyJet but drives a Ferrari? Her T-shirt is from Primark but she drives a Ferrari?’
“That’s how you drive a Ferrari,” Saira insisted.

“Because you don’t spend your money stupidly on branded gear.”
She also said that the fruit and vegetable selection in a store like Aldi is “better” than in Waitrose – for “half the price”.
“And EasyJet?” she continued.
“I’m not paying high prices to fly business class, to fly on the same plane, the same distance, in a seat that I can take my iPad and watch a programme on and pay the 10th of the price of business class.”
Concluding, Saira said: “So it’s just sense… that’s how you make money.”
However, not everyone was convinced by Saira’s rationale.
“But you could drive a Fiesta at a tenth of (the price of) driving a Ferrari? Your concept for taking EasyJet?” someone commented.
“The thing about driving a car is that I drive it everyday – and I don’t take flights every day,” Saira explained.
“So I’m not going to pay for business class, I’d take EasyJet – especially if it’s short-haul. If it’s long haul I might think about something better.
“But when it comes to cars, I had a Fiesta actually – I think they’re amazing cars and my mum has one.

“But if I’m going to drive something every day then I want to drive something that’s just sensational.
“And when you get so far in life that you can actually do that and actually achieve it, it’s mind-blowing.”
