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.

I don't think a separate board would work cos people would come on the threads and derail them.

But just like atheists barging onto the religious boards and trying to pick a fight, those posts would be intruding and outside the scope of the board so could be more easily moderated away.

And the paupers errrrr, other people could hardly say the posts were insensitive, which seems to be the main complaint currently.

Is this a joke?!

ah the very loneliest people are those with means it seems.

seriously, get financial advice. I don’t believe anyone with a high income is beyond that.

A dedicated website for women in high-power positions etc.
Lots of networking events, social stuff, and opportunities to share experiences

Why the need for a whole board for High Earning women? Why not just a thread which can then be High Earning women (thread 2) when thread 1 is full up? if you really must

and why group the elite that way? What would you talk about?

I could (sort of) understand a thread for women in senior management positions. There are plenty of challenges we face, but it isn't focused on how many £££ get deposited into your bank account each month. That's crass, and I'd avoid any thread on that theme, on the basis I wouldn't want to show myself to be a right dick.

but why should people be put off asking on here, just because a set of certain individuals choose to be disrespectful and bad mannered.

Sorry, meant to post link as a stand-alone post.
What I meant was that vhnw individuals, or hnw ones, esp women, have many support and advice networks because they have had to.
These are not in the individuals workplace, rather external and a 'safe' place for discussion

In another world it used to be crass to talk about money. That is why. And it still is if you have a 100k plus income.

Do you have to show your payslip to join ?

Surely if it's DH earning the £100k it's 'family money', it's only the wife who is allowed to keep running away money for herself!

Considerable richer than YOW! 😆 Love it!

What would a person need to know about planning investments and for the future, if they want to take a career break, and take some time out of the working world? Wouldn't it be the DH mainly needing to do that, as the DW would not be earning?

Plus the ones in the thread at the low end of the high earning scale might just start telling the ones at the high end of it to check their privilege anyway

I mean when someone starts moaning that she only got a £500k bonus I can guarantee someone else is going to jump in and say she should be grateful as they only got £50k this year....

Would be fun to watch it all unravel...

Agree. But it seems posters don't want these posts on existing boards but don't want them on a separate board, which says a lot.

I hope mumsnet do read this because the moderating is the issue. At the moment they seem to be allowing posters to attack others, whether that's a snarky tiny violin to higher earners or a nasty judgemental post to a lower earner with god forbid, more than 1 child. They need to sort it out because mumsnet is anything but supportive atm.

I'm really clever, but neither of those things.

Plain, comfortable intellectuals board now!

That would do nicely for me as well with an added section for "I have totally fucked my life up and am a complete failure"

Oh come on 🙄

Indeed.

On money saving expert there are boards for isas and pensions and then debt and benefits

So one can post "I have a cash isa of more than £85k, should I split it" without any judgment. It's not next to a thread on struggling to pay the electric

Maybe the new board needs to be on getting out of debt or benefits. Then money matters is about using money you do have better. Be that investments or pensions etc.

i get your point but either way , they still should still be able to use mumsnet

Add ‘in loafers’ and I’m in.

Fantastic comment, deserves more appreciation

Can we have a separate board for those with a high IQ.
Maybe MN should make us all take a test before allowing us to join!
Dont want to accidentally interact with anyone of a lower ranking!! FFS

Meh, I was thinking more trainers, but I no longer have to worry about dress codes.

What about everything I already own and the income from this? And my DH will be giving me money every month to add to my ISA.

Am I eligible? I probably earn more than most, and have inherited wealth too.
I'm in every list of the most beautiful women in the world, and I've had no cosmetic work. I'm regularly asked for ID as I still only look18.
