I am considerably richer than yaaooouuu!

I have a pool full of gold coins in my house. Why would you keep it in a bank? They won't let you swim in it.

I rent and have a salary of 45k for the last 12 months and my account has increased by 24k in the last 12 months.

How am I doing? Is it common to have this much saved when on this salary?

Call bull**** on this. How could it increase 24k in 12 months what did you spend anything at all?

Hope your job doesn’t need basic maths.

According to the above you're living on less than 1k a month when you take tax etc into account. I wouldn't want to live on that much

You'd be smarter if you had 3k in your current account and 75k invested in the markets. Your money is sitting there losing value.

Bullsh1t and desperately pathetic to feel the need to come on and declare this even if true, which it isn't.

So you're only spending about €10k a year of your after-tax salary while renting, eating, paying utility bills, commuting, and presumably having some form of entertainment/holidays?

What's your secret.

Clareman

You're saving 2 grand a month on a 48k salary while paying rent, you're obvisiouly an extremely intelligent financial guru. The fact that it's left in a current account makes you not 1

As a rule, if you have more k’s than your age then your rich

Somewhere between €57.63 and €5,232,854.79

I'd need to check my balance to be more precise.

What rent are you paying? Living on 10k a year is fantastic going.

Calling bs on the OP based on salary. However it seems you've read economics 101 last week. At present bonds or a bank account (failing recession) is probably the safest place for a low yield guarantee on current market outcomes

It is if you're happy doing it. Some people are happy not drinking or smoking or pissing their money away. No probably living frugally if it's what you're actually enjoying

I have a sum total of 40 cent in my wallet. Considering I live in the UK, that can't be good

I get give or take, it works out at about with expenses 140,000 a year and I pay 30.3% tax on that, so it’s about a net 100,000 and out of that 100,000 I run a home in Dublin, Castlebar and Brussels. I wanna tell you something, try it sometime…

Just over 3k in the bank, could save more but prefer to have a life and spend.

Think you've mentioned the latter part of that a few times already - maybe you should cut one loose.

I own my home, salary in excess of yours. Healthy bank account. So in comparison to me you're not doing that, great whereas to others better. Hope that helps your sense of self worth. ;-)

sbsquarepants

My wealth has taken somewhat of a hammering very recently - I put the bulk of it (€2.50) in a box in work in exchange for a packet of crisps and a yorkie.

I might go back and take it back if no one's watching. It's a victimless crime..... we'll unless you count the kids in the hospice that is I suppose.

Dawido

I am 23. I have €15,211.34 in my bank account.

Luckily I live with my parents in a social housing so I pay very low rent. Saving €1000 per month (earning €32,600 gross per year). Wish I could increase my earning capability so I can save faster and buy a house but it doesn't look too good.

bells of shandon

You are not really rich if you can count your money. My mathematical ability is poor, so my accumulated wealth is beyond counting.
But I lead a simple and frugal lifestyle, no ostentatious display of wealth ,no premier league footballer bizarre haircuts and no tattoos.
To be as rich as Croesus is to be modest and humble.
My greatest joy is to give to needy causes and see the happiness generated by a small donation to a person in financial distress.

KathleenGrant

I have nothing and owe lots. I have petrol in the car and food in the house so i will manage but I have actually no money till I get paid next Wed. Regular occurrence the last week of the month.

OP registered yesterday, therefore my answer is moot.

Paradicia

I find it hard to believe that a 28-year-old who lives and rents in Dublin who has just gotten a 50% or so uplift in the past year has 78K to their name - especially with 1998 in their username (lol). It would be different if you were a senior software engineer earning 65 - 70K a year but it just doesn't add up.

Unless you invested in Bitcoin/Crypto in its infancy, or you've rich as **** parents, you would have to have been saving every penny since you were 18. It just doesn't sit right with me and I think OP is an attention seeker.

Maybe the girls spend money on him. But a small bit of advice to the OP - get yourself an investment banker for your next sugar mama. Don't charge her - just ask her for financial advice.

Tomas81

A 28 year old with 70k plus In your account and a decent salary and your renting. You're not the most intelligent.

I've a decent bank account, my own home, my own business x4 and a ****ing rake of negative equity. But I'm very happy and my family are healthy.

Hmm, I have an account with 1998 in it 'cos that's when I registered it.:D

A tad overdone at this stage, becomes unfunny

I have a cool -€9.36 in my account right now

Happy days!

Eggs For Dinner

OP gave his salary and his current account balance. He did not say who else might be lodging in to his account, gift, inheritance, etc. Keeping that amount in his current account indicates he's not exactly financially astute
