Do you think people on the board lie about their financial position?

If you call rounding off a lie, then yes. I just find it easier to do mental calculations in round numbers. For the most part I find this to be an extremly honest group. With SS's to back it up!

 

[Khan]

Maybe one or two.

 

[REWahoo]

Of course. Whaddya expect from a bunch of teenage girls from Missoula?

 

[SecondCor521]

I haven't lied, but I will occasionally present information in a selective way. Sometimes this is to brag, more frequently it is to protect my privacy.

Omg for real! totally!

 

[Andre1969]

Like, totally cosmic. To the max! For sure! Gag me with a spatula!

 

[LKH]

If people fib about their age and weight, I'm sure they fib about their finances.

 

[bbbamI]

If they do, that's kind of sad isn't it?

Ok, I'll be honest...I'm worth 10 million dollars.

Hmmmm....that felt good!

 

[wabmester]

$10 million? I spent $10 million last year on dog grooming. I made billions by inventing the internet and sealed ball bearings.

(Hey, if you're going to lie to impress a bunch of anonymous strangers, you might as well make it a big one.)

 

[bbbamI]

...a big one? I thought we were talking about dollars!


ooh wait, that wouldn't work, I'm a woman.

Oh, go crazy. Give yourself two big ones.

 

[dmpi]

Maybe one or two.

Yes. I would peg one or two around here as "questionable".
That said, this site is way better than the rest of the internet.

 

[bbbamI]

Ahhh, such great laughs! Ya'll are too much!

 

[honobob]

Yes! I have proof.

 

[DangerMouse]

Possibly, however I don't spend too much time worrying about it, as it's totally irrelevant to me and my decision making process if another poster choose to fib about their finances.

I am really Howard Hughes. :

 

[FinanceDude]

Is this forum really that anonymous? I don't think so, and with the Internet who knows............

 

[Mwsinron]

I am Spartacus!


Oop wait Im a 13yr old girl from Missoula.

 

[FinanceDude]

I cannot lie, I chopped down the cherry tree.............

No you're not! Besides who cares about one's 'true' financial position when the weather's good.

heh heh heh

 

[maddythebeagle]

hmmm....op, you start a thread on how much everyone has and now you are questioning our integrity.... I stand by my statement that I am a brazilloinaire in beaver chease futures....

 

[Wealth Health]

The thread wasn't started in response to the first thread. Although I anticipated such a response and should have prefaced, I figured that me being a "newb" would have been interpreted as s'one trying to make sure they found a credible board.

Geez---I never would have thought the financially stable were so "sour". Guess all the discipline and time to scrutinize things is a benefit of LBYM. :

 

[REWahoo]

Geez---I never would have thought the financially stable were so "sour".

How do you reconcile your statement to the fact the longest thread on the forum by far is this one?

 

[cube_rat]

Geeesh, I opened REwahoo's link and CFB's avatar jumped out at me!
