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

Basic info, rich in money and possessions does not make anyone a better person.
I think you could be well off and a proper arsehole or poor and a lovely warm person.
You can't buy love or happiness even if you have millions

i struggle with marizan- any advice? I like a little icing, love almonds, even like sugared almonds, but marzipan is just rank.

Marzipan is a weird taste! Am not a fan but on a cake it's edible.
Money doesn't always make people happy.
It helps , but a huge amount can also be a curse I think. It can be the root of all evil in my book! It's a shame we can't live without it though. There must be another way !

Really inappropriate. Its Christmas Eve. Plenty of people have nothing and have struggled to put food on the table this Christmas, buy little gifts for their children.

And then they read a thread about people's net worth being hundreds of thousands of pounds? Confused

There's no point to the thread other than being self congratulatory about how rich you are.

Well if we’re counting the money trees and the gold bars DH and I shit, it’s loads. But we don’t talk about money because it’s not very polite.

Now excuse me whilst I check the vault and count my diamonds Hmm

Cmon OP surely you would’ve imagined that starting a thread essentially asking how much money people have was never going to go smashingly well? It’s great that you’re so well off but perhaps be aware that not everyone else is in such a fortunate position and if they’re struggling may not appreciate it - especially at Christmas

Also, you knew it was a horrible topic. Hence the name change. Should have gone with BraggyMcBragFace though!

I don't really understand how it can be braggy. The original poster is unidentifiable and anonymous. It's the whole bloody point of the forum. Online your money doesn't count in your real-life favour any more than your request for advice on your dose of the clap counts against you!

I was always taught it was very unclassy to talk about how much money you have. What a strange thread

Jesus, yes sure it’s inappropriate, but this is an anonymous forum so who gives a hoot!!the fridge thread could be seen as inappropriate too!! How dare they show off their full fridges...forget not know there are ppl out there with no fridge or food to put in it!!! ConfusedHmm

There’s a bit of a difference between ‘I have a nice ham and salmon in my fridge’ to ‘I have tens of thousands in savings’ though.

Africa2go · 24/12/2019 18:41

You'd need quite a big fridge to show a net worth of about £650k though, wouldnt you OP? Hmm
