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.

Grandparent or General Practitioner?

The block or the spreadable?

Spreadable.
Right to the very corners of the bread.

Nope, thats not butter, its an abomination

Children academically able enough don’t even need to have parents who pay VAT as they get full bursaries.

Oh gosh please do we can laugh at the pompous nonsense who don’t understand the real world.

i think you should also have a subsection you can complain about Vat at private schools .. that would clear the mess up.

I would like to look at that board. Not contribute or anything. I know my place. I'd just like to bathe in the glory of my betters once in a while.

The lurpak one or the "I self-identify as rich" one?

I’d be up for a ‘LURPAK IS AN ABOMINATION, ALL HAIL KERRYGOLD’ board.

Or a ‘BAN FLAVOURED YOGHURT’ board.

Hush your mouth. I'll have you know that I have a DPhil. Although my DH is not called Phil.

Now we're talking.

What an excellent attitude.

Well said @BringTheWine . But as you can see, most posters actually don’t give a shit about your friend. She has the audacity to have money and so deserves everything she gets. Or so it seems from the majority of comments.

MN has been a complete race to the bottom recently. It’s not always been like this. A couple of years ago I started a thread asking for advice about a job move with a big jump in income. It was HUGELY supportive and helpful. I don’t think it would be now.

I feel like we could end up with an awful lot of boards just about butters.

And I feel they should be hidden from view so as not to upset people like me who can't have dairy products in the house due to their children's allergies. Or maybe I can just jump on the Kerrygold and Lurpak threads and make "check your privilege" comments

Or guinea pig.

I do have a DPhil too.

Can't mums just ask genuine questions about Lurpak and Kerrygold without the inevitable dairy produce Bolsheviks mocking us?

Sorry to hear about your friend's loss.

Did she post it on the 'private school' board?

Or a Grand Piano.

Clearly it’s Garden Pony. Garden Pony Phil.

Grand Prix

Id love a garden pony but I'm not rich enough 😬

Sad state of affairs when people are asking for this kind of division. We are all people, we learn from each other. We don't need to be kept in boxes or excluded.

Sad but not surprising. Mumsnet is more like the Daily Mail most days.

I agree. I don’t understand how most posters would argue that they support equal pay but, at the same time, refuse to allow women to discuss money matters that relate to high earners. IME, being a high earning woman is a very different experience to being in the same position as a man - pensions contributions after mat leave for example.

Phil would make an excellent name for a Guinea Pig
