Board for high earners

[BellesAndGraces]

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.

Well, it’s good to know you are “not like the other girls” 🙄😅

Do we have to have an actual D.Phil or can it just be an "in my imagination" thing?

Can we have one for benefits claimants please? So we can avoid people claiming I'm a drain on society BC I have the misfortune to be too unwell to work.

I mean Birmingham, a PHD from Birmingham isn't a thing in fact is there even a university there?

Like me 😂😭

Isn't DPhil just DHs who are called 'Phil'?

😂 I think we could call it ‘Any old PhD board, even if your work area isn’t lucrative enough to hit £seven figures, but it has to be yours, ‘DH’s’ doesn’t count’.

I believe that the correct term is "scrounger"? Avoiding tax on high earnings is efficient planning, claiming £25 so that you can eat is scrounging.

😂

but it has to be yours, ‘DH’s’ doesn’t count

Ahem. I think you'll find that's " DPhil's doesn't count"

I would like a special board for those of us who eat Lurpak every day.

...and one for those who wear Crowns and hold that ball thingy.

The comments did not disappoint

🙏, I have neither so am clearly ignorant 😂.

All these years I thought people were talking about their daughters, but in fact MN is flooded with Doctors of Divinity!

Has DPhil got a DPhil, or just a run of the mill PhD?

Again with the DPhils. Man, this place ...

Hahaha get my popcorn back out now🍿

I would, however, support this and become the boards most prolific poster..

What if my GP is called Phil?

Love this. Make sure folk know their place.

For those that don't agree with the board, do you feel a mum should be able to ask a question about private school without getting snarky replies? Or do you think that mum gets what she deserves by daring to ask a question?

A friend of mine asked a question about private school and finances very politely. At least a third of the replies were sarcastic or nasty. Why shouldn't she be able to post a question? Her thread was deleted because she asked for it to be removed. What posters didn't know was that her husband had just died by suicide and she was worrying about everything. Mumsnetters made her feel like shit, 'Making parents lives easier' and 'for parents by parents' eh.

Posters don't want these questions asked on any existing board but then are against a separate board. So again, when mumsnet is for everyone, where can they post on here?

Among the community of high earning women, I'm pretty sure there are hundreds of tech and marketing entrepreneurs who could easily create an exclusive internet forum for their cohort to discuss issues with inheritance tax / VAT on schools / how to jump the waiting list for a Birkin bag.

But they won't because it wouldn't make a single penny and the kind of people who would join are the kind of people the founders wouldn't want.

They need us more than we need them. They want an audience bless them.
