Board for high earners

I see that the other thread was started by an OP who wasn’t engaging in good faith. I certainly am so, Mumsnet, can we please have a separate board for high earners? It would be helpful for these threads to be in one place and to avoid them being high jacked by the inevitable “small violin” and “diamond shoes” comments.

Clearly it’s Garden Pony. Garden Pony Phil.

What if it's your Grandparent who's a General Practitioner who loves Grand Prix and has a Garden Pony for whom they bought a companion Guinea Pig and lives in the Greater Preston area?

And for some historical reason, the poster calls them by their diminutive of Phil?

You'd get DPhilGPGPGPGPGPGP (DPhil).

How will you be able to tell the genuine high earners from the fantasists? Anyone can post on here about earning £100K with share options, final salary pension, health plan and gym subsidy and you'd never be able to validate it.

So it could save you the bother of not encouraging the delusionals.

100k isn't a high wage regardless of the criteria or number of ponies owned. I would say that 350k p.a. is a good enough arbitrary figure, with a disposable income of 50% of that, BUT as long as you have 3 foreign holidays a year, with one in Nice.

OP you would be bursting the bubble of the lefty majority crowd in here. Also, some would find it triggering 🤣

Please be sarcasm.

OP, go to Reddit . It has a HENRYUK sub Reddit. You'll learn lots there. Absolutely no point in posting here. It sucks to have to flip back and forth between forums but them's the breaks x

The threads would include:

My neighbour parked in front of my butler's head gardener's valet's driveway!

My child just left for private school. How will he or she find their way home when the leave in 14 years time?

My husband bought me a yacht that clashes with my third favourite handbag. LTB?

Darling, one does not get involved in disputes between the staff. They prefer to sort things out themselves according to their own primitive code.

Why would you child need to find their way home? Surely you will be sending the helicopter?

The clashing yacht/handbag conundrum is easy to fix, you just need to buy another yacht.
