Profile Info

This is just a general musing but I think it would very interesting if everyone had a full personal and financial summary on their profile page. I.e marital status, number of kids, age, income level, expenses broken down by category, home equity, home type and size, investment amounts and allocations, FIRE budget, FIRE goal, pension amount, etc. I know this will never happen but I just wanted to say it would be really informative.

Yeah, that would be worth 10 dollar per person, if not more!

If you did that yourself, you could potentially start a trend…

Yeah I had my age and location in there at one point. But then I was afraid my boss would see it and figure me out based on my profession and the fact that I am pretty outgoing about my frugality IRL. And I'm very negative about work on here :)

Reddit people sometimes abbreviate things like 50% FI 3% SWR 2026 -   and they can manage to capture a big picture in a very small space. If it was popular here I'd do it, all my info (aside from my specific profession) is available if people are willing to click around enough on my comments. There are definitely times when I look at a familiar poster and struggle to remember what their situation is. I'm generally too lazy to click through a bunch of their posts and therefore I don't comment much on specifics.


 

Wow, a phone plan for fifteen bucks!
