What if you have savings and debts?

Oldernotwiser and Alwaysonthego.
Do you have some sort of pact to Thank each others posts or are you the same person ?

When you're singing from the same hymn sheet, you tend to agree!

Yeh right !!! (like this particular post !, Healy also in on the act)
It would be better if genuine posters used the Thanks button or this facility should be removed.

I am a genuine poster and if I agree with someone or they are helpful I thank them like many others do. I really cannot see the problem. I dont think your wish will come true.

The three posters you have mentioned, Oldernotwiser, healy and Alwaysonthego are long-term well-respected members of this forum who give helpful and valuable advice in their own time.

If you don't like the answers they give, well that's a shame because those answers are usually the accurate ones.

Am I the only one wondering why the OP would not have paid money that he owed to his ex-wife when he was working and had more than £16,000 in savings and it is only now that he is unemployed that he is considering re-paying the debt. He states clearly that he did not get a redundancy payment so he must have already had this money. He also says he is on good terms with his ex. Very strange.

Yes, I agree with you; I think I touched upon this in an earlier post.

I agree.
I have thanked them in the past and I think they may have also thanked me.
It is not a pact it is just that sensible accurate advice is to be thanked!

Okay on reflection - I am sure that they do give posters excellent advice but I believe the thanks button should only be used by people who they have offered their good advice too or had it appreciated. Not to be used unneccessarily by each of them giving each other a pat on the back on virtually every single post they make !

Would you care to define what you mean by "a genuine poster"? I assume you don't think that we're trolls?

You'll find on most MSE boards that people use the Thanks button to indicate agreement; that might not be the way it's supposed to be used but it's very common.

(If you worry about this sort of thing, never read the Depression Support section, everybody thanks everybody else ALL the time!)
