And you know that... how?

I’m on there too.
Btw I’m (one) if the $30m NW posters. Have paid for long haul private on our own in a Citation only once.
Bum free rides off friends several times.

Yes we are here too. Can’t ask these things in real life.

If everyone lied that would make DCUM boring. What makes it fascinating, is that people reveal their true lives, financial and otherwise

This. It’s not like we can talk with friends that we have a 7 plus figure net worth, or 4 investment properties, or high value funded 529. We live modestly and you would never guess so. Only on an anonymous board.

+1 Spot on. I’m a firm believer in stealth wealth. My neighbors, friends, and relatives would never know our net worth is north of 8 figures. We live relatively modestly but we do live it up when away from our main home and travel extensively while we are still young (upper 40s) and around kids’ schedules. We can do our jobs from anywhere.

Ha, I'm OP of the thread about his tv show. It was great.

There is someone here who posts not infrequently who reports having a NW OF $30 million or thereabouts and also talks about a lot of donations to charity. They may also have said they are not rich enough to fly private.

There was a poster on here who said they have a $6B (B as in billion) IRA.

I mean, I can come on here and say I’m
the Princess of Wales.

But you’d be lying, because I am the Princess of Wales.

No, me. I, Kate Middleton, post here about Meghan Markle and how she thinks she’s so great but is actually NOT. Plus she has cankles

This site is ridiculous and all laughs. I find reddit subs to be more informative but I also think Ramit's advice is very meh. Perhaps I'm just not his audience.

I didn't say most people would have that much of NW. I said IF you're reasonably disciplined. Most Americans are not in term of savings and investments.

This is so out of touch. The reason most Americans will never have $5m net worth is not because they are not disciplined - it's because they will never make enough money to feed and house their families with enough left over to accumulate that kind of wealth. Most Americans are not making $200k a year. Get out of your bubble.

For those who do have 200k+ HHI, vast majority of them are not disciplined. There're trade offs in life. When you prioritize other things over savings and investments, you won't have a large NW. It's that simple. It's nothing wrong though. Personal choice.

But only the top 10% of households have a $200K HHI. So, your argument doesn't hold water.

Sorry gang, my daughter claims to be the Princess of Whales and I know she’s not posting here.

Have you put her on a diet yet?

It's 2023, body positivity bay-be

I also like the threads where people with mid- or high-six figure incomes say they can't afford to pay someone to clean their house or do their yard work.

Loved that one.
