    Hi All,

    For those brave enough in revealing what is your financial breakdown?

    Mine is as follows:

    Salary - £20k Less than that

    Private Pension - £4500 £0
    Mortgage - £90k £0

    Value of property -£200k.£0

    Savings - £17k in current account (soon to be moved). £0

    Investments (if you call it that) - £200 (Premium Bonds). £0

    I'm not worth much to be honest; I'm currently 30 and single with no dependants.
    I am old enough to be UR MOM.

    I do have a "house fund", which isn't what I call savings.... it's enough to buy me a little house once I learn to be satisfied with what I can afford and not what I desire :)

    That makes sense actually. :) Here is mine:
    I am almost 27 years old

    Emergency Fund of one year basic wage: 24%
    (Mostly Index-linked Savings)
    Cash ISA: 39%
    Pension: 30%
    Investments: 7%

    Cheers,
    Joe

    If you include my student loan it's negative :o

    I am worth enough to know 2 things.

    One, it is none of your business.

    2,

    if anyone wants to know what you are worth, they want some of it. As you aren't the fruit of my loins, you aren't getting any.

    Waste of time asking these questions IMO.

    First off, you'll get people replying with unfunny twaddle instead of actually answering the question, instead of just opening the thread & hitting the X in the top right.

    Then you'll get those whinging that you asked - these missed the red X also.

    Best to just not ask :)
