To ask if you have ever calculated your net worth? And how much is cash?

[Ohholyknight]

I have NC’d for this... thought it would be funny off the back of the “what class are you thread?”

Have you ever calculated your net worth?
How much is cash?

Having a quick think between properties and savings we are at about 650k ...55k is cash savings, another 50k is shares and investments

[Sinuhe]

.... whatever my employer thinks when I don't turn up for work on boxing day....

[HomeEdRocks18]

We have £436 in our isa for our holiday next year. Hubby has a tool box rammed with expensive snap on tools, a cupboard full of shitty (expensive) warhammer and I have tools for my forest school business.
Other than that we have nowt

[IMWang]

50p

DH and I have a roof over our heads, we have work, we have a 3yo who is the light of our life, we have my Mum, step dad, brother, SIL, nephew, niece, MIL and BIL plus lots of other friends and family. We have fond memories of my dad who died 3 weeks ago.
I'd say we're pretty damn wealthy.

Merry Christmas everyone

People actually answered this


I swallowed a pound coin age 7. Safe to say I'm made of money.

[Thehop]

Well our debt will wipe out the £43 in the current account that has to last until jan 1st so......really nothing.

I’m worth a few quid dead though.

[Cottipus]

We do this every month to keep tabs on spending, financial/retirement planning etc. It’s a useful exercise for financial geeks like us. But I wouldn’t give out figures on a forum!

It’s pretty irrelevant anyway surely as say £1m in assets isn’t that much to an older person in London who owns a house, whereas it would seem a fortune to a 21 year old in the north?

[Nextphonewontbesamsung]

Who the fuck even answers a stupid thread like this with a straight face? Haven't you got some sprouts to peel or something?

[Noviceoftheweek]

We are in the top 1% but have worked hard to get here. As a black woman in the City, I have faced particular challenges. However family, community, faith and friends are far more valuable to me than money.

[gincaketeathatisme]

Wow, who actually is interested! Everyone's net worth is different. And those how have more tend to kept it quiet, it's a thing called class which you can't buy! Someone will always have more but we all breath the same air and expel the same properties!! My net worth is vast...I have lots of love, food on the table and some of my health still. Money means nothing without all of that! Merry Christmas to you all!

[Jon6b]

Well over a million which is why i give to the local food bank and support other charities with regular donations. I'm also well aware there are people half a mile away in abject poverty exacerbated by having a tory government who believe the welfare of the people in this country is irrelevant and child poverty unimportant. Perhaps we have the government we deserve .

[Trottersindependenttraders]

About £4.50

[Ravenswing]

£2.50

[MrsRagnarLothbrok]

roof over my head, food on the table and my family round it, I class myself as pretty well off with those things

[anxioussue]

It's ok, my net worth has increased- I have ten bags for life and now the price has increased to 30p I am worth more. Oh happy days. I'll call them my pension.

[PortiaCastis]

Tis the season to be jolly fala la la la la la la
Tell us all about your lolly .....fala etc

[daisychain01]

Between this thread and the other one boasting about spending £500 on groceries, I'm beginning to wonder if people have become completely fucking clueless devoid of any social conscience.

Don't you have any awareness of how this comes across to people who are really struggling?

[ssd]

I wonder if this would be such a fun thread for you to start if you were in debt op??
Thought not

[JustASmallTownCurl]

I've got a bottle of red wine for tomorrow. So about £6.85* in assets.

*current on offer at co-op.

[CareOfPunts]

Bugger all of mine is cash btw. Equity in the house so hardly accessible

[1Morewineplease]

Why would you think that a post like this is going to garner anything other than hatred or jealousy?
You’ve been really mean and I think that you need to really think about how the majority of people are coping this Christmas.
Most people have next to no assets or share portfolios.

[Catapillarsruletheworld]

I’ve never given it a thought. I guess unless you’re loaded it’s not the sort of thing you think or talk about.

[Soontobe60]

Well then, I'm worth a damn sight less than the OP as I live in an area where houses are dead cheap. But I outweigh the OP in terms of class and humbleness.

[BloodyDrasticInnit]

Actually I'm about 10k in debt. So minus 10k

[BloodyDrasticInnit]

Honestly...

Nothing.

Own no propertys. No cars. No jewellery. No savings. No assets at all.

Only makes me sad for my kids. I don't mind not having money but I wish I could pass some security onto them. A uni fund or house deposit or something :(

I can't even afford to pay for their driving lessons when they are old enough.
