You take cynical to the extreme. MSE is about saving money and people on low/middle incomes saving money. Is this site for £80k+ earners? Why would they need to save money"The Holy Writ of Gloucester Rugby Club demands: first, that the forwards shall win the ball; second, that the forwards shall keep the ball; and third, the backs shall buy the beer." - Doug Ibbotson0

What?dipsomaniac said:You take cynical to the extreme. MSE is about saving money and people on low/middle income need to save more and have more to loose. This site is not for top tax rate payers imho
MSE isn't for anyone paying 40% tax?
Thanks for your idea, consider it ignored.1 -
MSE is for anyone wanting to save money but you will find the higher the income the less important it becomes"The Holy Writ of Gloucester Rugby Club demands: first, that the forwards shall win the ball; second, that the forwards shall keep the ball; and third, the backs shall buy the beer." - Doug Ibbotson0

Otherwise you would never sell a PCP/free mot deal"The Holy Writ of Gloucester Rugby Club demands: first, that the forwards shall win the ball; second, that the forwards shall keep the ball; and third, the backs shall buy the beer." - Doug Ibbotson0

@Dipsomaniac, get a grip of yourself and look at some of the sums of money people are looking to invest in some of the other forums.
Then come back and tell me MSE is for lower earners only.

Incredible statement. People who gradually worked up the pay chain will always want to be careful/sensible with their money and I've yet to meet anyone in the 40% tax bracket that has worked their way up not wanting to save money.dipsomaniac said:You take cynical to the extreme.

FYI, MSE is not just about "saving money" but lots of good help/advice re proeprty buying/selling/renting/consumer probs/gardening/relationships/etc/etc.

Why is that a 'incredible statement'. The more you earn the less likely you are to worry about wasting money because you have more to waste"The Holy Writ of Gloucester Rugby Club demands: first, that the forwards shall win the ball; second, that the forwards shall keep the ball; and third, the backs shall buy the beer." - Doug Ibbotson0

You'd think that, but your outgoings usually expand to fill your salary and there's no reason someone on £80k wouldn't be as frugal as someone on £20k. Someone on £80k/week may not need to worry quite so much, admittedly.
You don't get to be rich by wasting money - just look at all the old money driving around in bangers.
