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!!

Why is it, when people post about their high earnings or wealth, that other people come on and accuse them of lying or deliberately making other poorer people feel bad?

It was exactly the same on another recent thread where the OP was a high earner and her husband earned even more.

I've never ever seen anyone accused of making it up when they say they're poor.

There are over a million users of Mumsnet, it stands to reason that a certain proportion of them will be high earners and very well off. Just because some people on here move in circles where people aren't well paid or wealthy, and seem unable to comprehend that others are, doesn't mean that those saying they're wealthy are liars or rubbing others' noses in it. A straightforward question was asked and they replied.

I find this frustrating as well. I understand how it prompts envy but it irritates the hell out of me that anyone who claims to be wealthy or well paid is assumed to be lying.

Why? What would you gain by having some random people on a chat board know that you, as an alias who they will never meet, are wealthy? There’s literally no incentive to do this.

And why are the people saying they are worth £20 million assumed to be less trustworthy than the people claim to be worth £10?

I think there’s a healthy dose of internalised misogyny here. People are still very uncomfortable with the idea that women are wealthy in their own right.

I honestly think this was the most boring and the most pointless post ever! I tried to join in, but couldn’t work up any enthusiasm for it.

Do it the easy way , have a Guinness first - then who even cares about enthusiasm

62 and 71 - liquid assets inc car, house contents and personal property around £35k, property and pensions around £625k so around £660k all in.

Mid 30s, 2.75m approx

This thread is interesting. Our house is worth close to 1m, we part-own a house in Italy and also co-own some other business premises in a different country that generate an income to fund the other property. It's all inherited and we have local solicitors running it all - we have virtually nothing to do with any of it. I guess in total, with pensions etc. it's around 2.5 - 3m.

We're broke! We have all this tied up in assets but we have very little actual money Grin We both work but don't earn a huge amount. We live a very simple life, raise our DC and potter around frugally, as a rule.

IridiumSky · 24/02/2025 02:50

Interesting question. Never thought about it before, as too busy working 16 hour days earning more, for no real reason.

About £4.5m. But then I’d be a bloke standing in the street in his underpants, owning nothing but a sack of cash.

I suppose some lady might take me in?

About £2 billion.

Really Pandora? Are you a George Soros type? because your posts are aligned if you have 2 billion. 🤔

Is just to make some of us feel extra shit?

May be this is research to give more ideas of how can Labour fuck next. Plus, to create the usual resentment and worse of all most people are lying for shit and giggles.

There used to be an ethos of philanthropy amongst the rich, such as by Andrew Carnegie, the Rockefellers. Bill Gates still has it. This new crew of tech bros, not so much. Perhaps the tech bros just see most people as useful idiots, until they are disposable when inconvenient.

Oh the new evil people to blame. It used to be the bankers.

I do hope you are not accusing me of being untruthful. It is against Talk guidelines.

There is also a reasonable expectation that people don't post utter tripe.

If they do, there is nothing in Talk Guidelines that prevents freedom of speech to say "you're talking bollox" or words to that effect if their post defies belief.

The boards would be very quiet without the tripe!
