+1, this is the key....it is probably pretty safe -- as long as you remain anonymous.
And you've now met REW, our beloved Comedian Emeritus...You don't necessarily have to remain anonymous as long as you post only your SS#, account #s, pin #s, and passwords.
as others said, if you use ER Man on other boards, you should use something else on here.
Nor have you posted a photo of your RV...I am always amazed when new members post the size of their nestegg and net worth on the board. Apparently they don't mind doing it, but I haven't posted those specific numbers because for me it just seems like too much to reveal.

Hi, I am fairly new here and I want to know if its safe to put my personal financial information on this forum and get some advice?
And we plan on using that information to report you to the...uh...turn you in to the...uh...to rent movies from Netflix in your name!Lots of folks not on this forum already know those things about me.

So, the FBI, Witness Protection, and the Mafioso??
Uh, that's Venezuelan Beaver Cheese Futures, if you don't mind.Look through some threads and you'll see some people post using percentages rather than numbers (like "17% of my nest egg is in Beaver Cheese Futures, is this safe?" rather than $132,000 is in Beaver Cheese Futures).
And also to be taken with a grain of salt is the advice you'll receive in response, like any advice from anyone--it can be really helpful and most posters have no vested interest whatsoever in what they suggest, but still, we're an anonymous message board, so good to consider any recommendations in light of your own situation and level of risk.

Here's one from 2007. Maybe it is time for another. http://www.early-retirement.org/forums/f28/poll-how-old-ar-you-26148.htmlI couldn't find a poll of this specific topic, but my gut feeling is mid to late 50s.
I think I posted my net worth in one of my first posts, and also posted the amount of an inheritance more recently so anyone who wanted to, could figure out my approximate net worth. The fact that others known to me might come across this information doesn't concern me.I am always amazed when new members post the size of their nestegg and net worth on the board. Apparently they don't mind doing it, but I haven't posted those specific numbers because for me it just seems like too much to reveal. I guess long time members can probably guess pretty accurately even so.
