"For the love of money is the root of all....

Orca A public forum is tactless and rude enough but someone revealing/boasting about all over the dinner table is a thousand times worse – especially when they are a guest.

Understood glam

I can understand if someone is having financial problems telling someone "sorry I can't afford that" and I respect that honesty and attitude. I suspect there are many GNetters who are financially secure due to a mixture of good luck, secure work, good health and sound investments. And I know there are some who struggle often due to factors beyond their control.
But I'd never dream of revealing my true worth on a public forum.

I am unable to talk about my financial affairs as I do not really understand them..just if I am in the 'black or 'red'! I do sometimes admire people who know how /when to switch accounts etc to get better rates..or who has half an idea what the budget is all about!

Ella46 Thats what I meant in the beginning but it came out wrong "again".Thanks

Orca not at all what I was saying is that it's vulgar to discuss things such as money,and anyone with manner's wouldn't do this,maybe it was the way it came out on the post I am known for getting things back to front it's a blonde thingy

Actually, it's probably also sad if that is someone's main topic of conversation.

Orca I too was told it was vulgar to talk about the value of your property, savings, jewellery, etc. or how much you earned or the size of a salary increase, except within the family. I think the housing boom changed all that because people would talk about and, indeed, gloat over how their property had increased in value since the previous week. I still think it is vulgar.

I think Glam may have meant 'he who shall not be named'!

Sorry Glamma have I said something to upset you?

My mum always taught me and have passed it on to my DCs "manners maketh the man" but not in this case it seems.
