Why feel the need to post your salary on a forum? If someone approached you in the pub asking how much you earned I'm sure you wouldn't reveal your salary....... but then again you probably would.

In a pub you're not anonymous.

On an anonymous forum you are - go figure.

After looking through this thread I am amazed at the amount of high earning 'bears.'

To be quite frank, priced out my !!!!. That or you are lying about what you are earning or have a couple of Bentleys on finance.

Alternatively you don't see value in the housing market at the moment. There's no shame in admitting this, infact I feel the same way myself but just don't see a big crash looming.

People may be high earners but due to how they earn their income they can't get a mortgage.

Plus one them has never moaned about the fact they are renting. Even though another one of them is very vocal about it.

Or have significant other liabilities. e.g. DH's income is high, but he has to support me on it too. If he earned less and I earned more (or anything) we'd pay less of it in tax and have more to spend. Not that it really matters.
