I'm hoping to be buried with loads of jewels so people know I am better than them!
On a serious note, you're right, lack of humility is just a bit of pet peeve of mine!

I can’t even tell you the jobs he’s had. The one he enjoyed the most was working in London working on a really basic wage, but boosted by commission. We were both single parents when we met, and having the kids was what we had in common.
And when we met he had a really good paying job, but he didn’t see his child because he worked shift work (like the police)
He’s also started his own company last year, with my full backing and support. It hasn’t made him a profit yet, but it will do
Ah apparently that's a sweeping statement, takes a lot to bring some people down
Some people could do with a dose of living below the breadline through no fault of their own.
I've been there, as has my partner. I've earned more than him and he's earned more than me. And it's never made a bit of difference, life still humbled us and we found ourselves at a food bank needing assistance.
One or two could do with driving their porches to a food bank for some reality.
I'll stick to my low ambition & humble life
Money can't buy love nor happiness.
Based on past experiences, as a woman now in her 50s I wouldn't ever again date someone who earned less than me.
This is not because I'm motivated by money. I drive a 14 year old car I bought for £1500, I shop in Primark. I cut and dye my own hair and always have. Most things in my house were bought 2nd hand. So I don't live some luxurious life, I do ok, but I'm not dining out at the Ivy every week ..
So it doesn't matter to me if someone earns 60k (my salary) or 20k. But what I have learned is that it matters a LOT to men. Every relationship I've had, money has been an issue, because I was the higher earner and they didn't like it. Not because I was flashing the cash, or making them uncomfortable. Just because I earned more, they were so insecure they couldn't deal with it.
In my last relationship my Ex actually earned more than me, but because I own my house and he doesn't (and has zero savings) again he resented me, didn't like the inequality he perceived; so much so that he refused to live with me because he couldn't match my contribution to a house.
So no, in future I'm not wasting my time with men who will end up hating me, and will only date men who own a house outright and are on 60k plus a year. Which I'm sure narrows the pool to basically no one!

And it’s all bullshit anyway…
I could easily say I live a ten bed mansion and have a private jet. No one on here knows who I am, I could in fact live in a shed and not even own a car at all.
anyone can come on here and brag they have it all, but they rarely do. Usually they’re lacking something, like confidence or decent relationships. As above, those who shout the loudest and all that.
