Don't flatter yourselves.

Been meaning to raise this one for a while now...

There seems to be a prevailing attitude amongst some on here that they are somehow part of a wealthy elite that has risen above mere ordinary people. Clues to this are the smug over-exaggerated claims of wealth/income and attacking anyone who dares to criticise the real wealthy elite who have steered the economy onto the rocks and received massive rewards for/despite doing so.

Don't flatter yourselves!

Maybe some of you earn £50K or £100K per year, or even £150K per year (very few at that level), but even so, you're still a wage-slave. You would still be tulipting yourself if you were out of work for a couple of years. Don't kid yourself that you're in the same league as bankers, footballers, proper-entrepreneurs.

I used to be a contractor and rode the wave of the late 90's boom (Y2K + dot com), so I've seen what it's like to earn a fat contract rate. I didn't go out and waste my money on flash cars or get drunk on champagne like some were doing, and I never fooled myself into believing that I was rich.

Sorry to burst your bubble. You're not the wealthy elite. You're just a little bit better off than the average guy.

A nice attempt at trolling, but don't flatter yourself, you're not KittyCat. Or maybe you are?

I did most of that in the 90's and wasn't even a contractor...

So what did you do with all the money you were earning?

Personally I spent my money on useful or enjoyable things like 2 houses and a 1967 Mustang. AFAIK my ex-wife still has them.

What happens at CUK should stay at CUK...
