    You don't have to put your photo on Facebook or use your Full Name. You just need a first and last name. For example Boris Johnson could be John Borisson or Boris John. I personally use my Middle name.
    Paid off the last of my unsecured debts in 2016. Then saved up and bought a property. Current aim is to pay off my mortgage as early as possible. Currently over paying every month. Mortgage due to be paid off in 2036 hoping to get it paid off much earlier. Set up my own bespoke spreadsheet to manage my money.

    Agreed I do not use my real surname as it is too distinctive. I use my first and middle name and a "bland" picture lol!

    I have a few friends who are teachers who also use pseudonym's so pupils don't find them on the socials.
