millionaire (albeit temporarily)

[d000hg]

Agreed, after such an impressive accomplishment what a shame not to be able to share with nearest and dearest. By the sounds of it, I'd consider bailing.

On the money or the wife?

The wife.

[wantacontract]

as much as i love her...i wouldn't tell her either...

although, i would say:

"we can now go around the world.....forever!!"

"you can quit your job if you want"

"you can keep your convertible!"

"by the way i am buying a lambo"

I suppose the problem often comes when, although you love each other and all that, your reaction to having a million is that you can stop working, and hers is you can have a nice house and car and holidays .... and keep working.

Especially if that means "and you keep working" and you feel that is not being given the weight it deserves.

Yeah, I see your point but the alternative is to keep it a secret for the rest of your life?? That sounds a lot worse to me.

It's a bit of a boast I know, but I had to put pen to paper.

Been contracting a decade or so, and built up a nice nest-egg.

The majority of my assets are non GBP and with the recent collapse in GBP, my net worth is just a few grand over a mill.

I know it's a bit of a boast, but for obvious reasons, can't go around shouting IRL.

I'm considerably richer than yow! Considerably!

I'm considerably richer than yow! Considerably!

Yeah, I was waiting for that. It's only temporary anyway probably due to the massive fall in the pound. Plus it's not liquid.

I know there's a few on here with waaaaaay more.

my net worth is just a few grand over a mill.

295K including pension in my case. You´re making me feel poor you bastard.

You're still 10X richer than me, but then I only started contracting a year ago this month and had debts to pay off.

Well done!

I can understand not wanting to tell the wife you're borth worth a mill. That kind of money, makes people think they can splash the cash and if that started to happen, you could be poor pretty quick!
