You managed to accummulate one million in just ten years ? You must be on a massive rate. Not a £400/day bod like me.

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.
Have you just been on holiday to Zimboland?

How do you keep it a secret? Are you a modern day Scrooge and live like a pauper?
Begs the question what secrets your wife is keeping from you - maybe she is a billionaire!

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!

Originally posted by expat View PostI 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.

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"
