Board for high earners

I see that the other thread was started by an OP who wasn’t engaging in good faith. I certainly am so, Mumsnet, can we please have a separate board for high earners? It would be helpful for these threads to be in one place and to avoid them being high jacked by the inevitable “small violin” and “diamond shoes” comments.

Oh please!

Then maybe all the begging threads will piss off there

ASmallCat · 08/10/2024 20:20

I’ll need a board of mine own thanks

we can’t all be expected to use the same Litter Tray

it’s one each tyvm

(and a spare for one’s little brother when he visits)

Why not rename all of the rest of the boards with the prefix ‘Peasant’ while you’re at it. So ‘Peasant Style & Beauty’ ‘Peasant Chat’, and so on.

👏

Do you need to show a bank balance to gain permission to post?

Possibly just evidence that in the last six months;. Your child has asked for a pony,
Your housekeeper has asked for a raise
You've posted on 9 of the VAT on private schools threads

I’ll expand on what I said on the last thread.

I think it’s a great idea in theory, but it will get trashed, as you can see from the comments already.

It would be great to have a place for WOMEN high-earners to advise each other on the specific issues that go along with that.

Unfortunately those discussions can’t be had on MN. Financial discussion for high earners can very sensibly be had on MSE, but not women-specific.

So we miss out. This is why we can’t have nice things!

Do posters qualify if it’s their DH earning that rather than them?

I think those ones would need a separate board

I think it should be a £100k a year.

Let’s add one for those of us with a PhD. That’ll be fairly exclusive 🍪.

People are people, no need to be a wanker if you’ve got something you don’t think other people have.

I would say a PhD only from Oxbridge.
I met someone once with a PhD from Birmingham! Can you imagine?!

Oooh yes please, I am glad this is restarted.
I think the best thing to do is have it a subscription only board. Set a decently high price. That should weed out the riff raff

Don't do it, Labour will try to stick VAT on it

TheBunyip · 08/10/2024 20:09

I just worry it will be so full you won’t all fit in and there won’t be anyone left on the rest of MN Sad

What to do? 😮

PronounsBaby · 08/10/2024 20:11

Id like a board for ugly, poor, dickheads please

FKAT · 08/10/2024 20:10

I want to know why the geniuses who are so 'intelligent' they have big paying jobs are also so dumb they don't realise you can't police an online forum by income.

If we had a high earners board, 99% of the posters would be there to take the piss.

BeatrizBoniface · 08/10/2024 20:10

Perhaps a whole one devoted to the issue of VAT on private schools?

The Us and Them board.

Elite and Riff Raff.

BeatrizBoniface · 08/10/2024 20:08

I would like a board for those of us who are very rich, beautiful, talented, kind and charming.
I'm tired of explaining about this on other boards, can we have a special one for people like me?

Sethera · 08/10/2024 20:07

It's back! You can't keep a good old goady thread down!

DrSpartacular · 08/10/2024 20:05

Don't be ridiculous.
