    I don't have a CC, & never have had one.
    Don't currently have any debt.

    Don't have a house.

    But I do have the love of a good woman. Therefore I am considerably richer than thou!:p

    I post frequently, but then I have no reason to disclose to the forum the exact source of my employment or self-employment.. or in a transitional zone preparing to launch or enter something new.

    Just because you might be gardening all day, out in the early morning fog, working up a sweat in the cold.... doesn't mean I have to earn my money that way. That is one of the points I was trying to make.

    Also I've brought something to the table, a strategy and even an idea (even if it's unworkable) - what are you bringing with your posts exactly? They seem destructive only in nature.

    Where are you are going with your line of posts here? Most people on the forum have no money and are mostly liars. There is little wealth in the real world so go gardening or dogwalking and don't rise above your station? Is that about it?

    If you really want to believe that there are no members on the forum, or in the real world, with genuine wealth and high disposable spending power (GeoffK maybe, unless he blows all his money on a house in the future), then fine.

    If you're suggesting I'm completely wrong about business strategies targeting wealth - then say it. I believe there is substance to it.

    I don't put details of my job, income or anything on here mainly because it's no one's damned business but also because it has nothing to do with what I discuss. I can imagine a need to disclose financial details if I were asking tax questions, pension/investment questions and other queries where my income and personal circumstances will impact the advice given but I'd probably create a new username to ask the question in order to avoid attacks from the snobs (if I earn too little for their liking) or the reverse-snobs (if I earn too much for their liking).
    "I can hear you whisperin', children, so I know you're down there. I can feel myself gettin' awful mad. I'm out of patience, children. I'm coming to find you now." - Harry Powell, Night of the Hunter, 1955.

    Have an image of you suddenly going into a panic at potentially digging a hole for yourself!

    Maybe it's because people find it hard to think of lemon jelly as very manly?

    Only male Jelly I can think of is Mr Jelly - an unusual role model.

    TBH jelly does not make me think of either sex (an iced bun with a cherry on the top maybe), it was more to do with the posting style.
    But people have thought I was a woman on here. Who knows.:confused:

    Who is Mr Jelly? I am not going to google it.

    One of the Mr Men? I think he's pink and wobbly-outlined.

    You'd be quite safe googling it.

    why would people assume someone named after the great Lemonjelly to be female? Both parts of Lemonjelly are male. That makes me realise I have always assumed lemonjelly was male, possibly wrongly.
