Just that really!! Inspired by thinking if I could afford to move abroad. I suppose age helps as well as you’d expect to be worth more the older you are!!

Anyone creating a thread asking for such information but fails to engage or giveaway anything about themselves, doesn't deserve to know anything about my life or anyone else's. They're a time waster, and journo or nosey.

its a crass subject at the best of times, and as someone has posted, it is completely meaningless - as they say " you never see a hearse with a trailer".

devongirl12 · 18/01/2025 13:44

Early 40s. Around £200k. But that's really just the equity in the house. I don't have anything else worth anything to sell.

I'm not, just been working full time for the last 30 years, own one property, one car and have a pension pot.

Probably in the MN poverty bracket!

Owning a property and having a pension pot is definitely not in any poverty bracket, even on mn!

I think on MN there are only two brackets with no middle ground - folk are either cheerfully broke arguing with each other who has the least money to last until payday and best ways to feed 4 kids for 75p each, or low key rich dropping little humble brags & flexes whilst looking down at you explaining some boring point about DP having an extremely high pressure job (he’s a high earner actually don’t you know).

Slavetomycat · 18/01/2025 17:36

@sometimesmovingforwards I would hope that there are more of us women here who are the high earners. My DH certainly acknowledges that in our situation.

Rosesgrowonyou · 17/01/2025 22:37

I do know that. But I don't believe all the high earners in the UK post on MN. A very small minority maybe.

Number and percentage of households with gross income greater than £100,000 in London and UK, financial year ending 2020 - Office for National Statistics

About 8% of UK (16% in Lon) households have combined income of over £100k. It's not a very small minority. You might be leaving in a low income social cycle to have this perception. Those who bought properties 20 years ago and/or inherited (again, not a small minority) would be well over 1m in their 50s or earlier.

These threads are a bit silly. Sensible wealthy folk don't usually disclose and boast about how much money they've got.

this is what I find really puzzling

Millions of people's 'intimate' location data stolen in major hack | Science, Climate & Tech News | Sky News

MN is mentioned here

Just why people disclose this

Millions of people's 'intimate' location data stolen in major hack

Hackers appear to have targeted a US location tracking firm that collects information through smartphones, including precise movements of people.

miss79guided · 18/01/2025 18:28

Allatonce2024 · 17/01/2025 21:49

about £75k

I think if I sold all of the actual possessions in my house I'd make about £2000

Sorry I DONT accept IOUs

LostMyLanyard · 18/01/2025 18:34

60...around £120k if that includes my house (the equity if sold), car and jewellery.

Sad really, given I've worked full time since I graduated aged 21! 😢

Cara707 · 18/01/2025 18:37

36 and £400 ... just for some perspective.

What on earth does this neoliberal nonsense mean? I can't see how writing this to a 60-something is either helpful or kind.

Depends what the going rate for kidneys is

Haha yep and this is the case for loads of people in the UK.

hopeishere · 18/01/2025 18:45

Over £1million in property and pensions.

OnlyDespairRemains · 18/01/2025 18:52

I wish the OP had also asked people to say how much money they had been gifted or inherited from parents or family as well.

Wordsmithery · 18/01/2025 19:03

It does make a difference if you're talking individually or with a partner. So people who have £300k on their own are worth more in assets than people who have £300k between their partnership.

stanleypops66 · 18/01/2025 19:24

41, savings, house, LISA, pensions and business assets, prob 400k. Thats splitting the house two ways with my dh. He prob has similar.

verabarbleen · 18/01/2025 19:29

Omg probably about £100 😂😂
