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!!

MagnoliaGirlie · 17/01/2025 22:16

I was thinking the same. I won't even bother try and calculate my 2 cents and post it here 🙈

Rosesgrowonyou · 17/01/2025 22:17

At least a billion.

Thankgodxmasisover · 17/01/2025 22:18

House 500k
Rental house 500k
Rental house 100k
Bonds/isa/locked savings 100k
Pension 300k
Savings account 20k
Cars x2 10k

I'm 51. Until writing it all down now, I didn't realise how much I had and am shocked!

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.

People lie on the internet. Anyone with any sense knows that.

Does it matter as long as you can earn whilst overseas? Go for it if you think it's a good opportunity - wealth and possessions can hold you back!

GertrudePerkinsPaperyThing · 17/01/2025 22:22

I suspect I higher percentage of people with more money are posting on this thread than people without much - of the MN population I mean, which is already wealthier than average.

Onlyconnection · 17/01/2025 22:23

Between DH and me, around 1.3 million I think. That’s house, business, business premises and cash. The cash part is by far the smallest. We worked it all out a couple of year ago as we were planning for IHT and one of our DC has a pre nup and wanted to work out inheritances. We are mid 60s and lived on a fairly small income from our business for many years so I feel very little guilt in saying this.

Rhodora · 17/01/2025 22:24

£900,000 and I’m 40

FunnysInLaJardin · 17/01/2025 22:24

FunnysInLaJardin · 17/01/2025 22:19

about £1m between me and DH, not including future pensions

but with pensions about £1.7m

And we are mid-late 50's

cadburyegg · 17/01/2025 22:24

About 300k. I'm 38

KitsyWitsy · 17/01/2025 22:24

Probably about 750k

xprincessxjanetx · 17/01/2025 22:25

About 920k, I'm 32

Of course that's true, and there have been a few on this thread, but not everyone on here who has said they are wealthy will lie, what would be the point?
At what level of wealth would you say that people are lying, and how do you make that judgement? Or do you assume that everyone is lying?
I'm 60 and if I sold everything I would have £695k, £1.3million, £4.6 million or £3 billion. One of those figures is true, how do you decide?

Bluejacket · 17/01/2025 22:27
  1. We have around 1 million left having liquidated all assets (business and properties) on retirement and travelling extensively and expensively in the 8 years since then. Kids have benefited hugely.
LadyRoughDiamond · 17/01/2025 22:27

House: £800k
Share of equity in husband’s business: £300k
Pensions: £600k
Savings/high value belongings: £50k
Late 40s

I find the best way to take MN wealth threads is with a huge pinch of salt.

thaegumathteth · 17/01/2025 21:55

Probably about 500k but that would be split with dh

To be clear this is very much only if we sold the house / cars/ shares etc

In the bank available to have? Not very much at all.

savethatkitty · 17/01/2025 22:31

Fuck all. Maybe $450k

BastilleBastille · 17/01/2025 22:32

31, £1.1million

spoonfulofsugar1 · 17/01/2025 22:32

Oooh well I'd say in the £20-£25 range...that's ball park figures of course. Im late 30s.

TooManyChristmasCards · 17/01/2025 22:33

depends how much I can sell the kids for

SockFluffInTheBath · 17/01/2025 22:33

No idea, more than £1.50. More than some of you, less than some of you. OP work out what you think you need, it doesn’t matter what anyone else has.
