Some people choose to and others do not. Whatever the reason behind that choice is - it shouldn't be challenged by others and certainly does not need to be justified by the decision maker.
Yeah I defo wasn't privileged other than being able to stay at home !
Good post by @Cabicular.. ;
Crikey maybe I should delete my posts in case I get my identity stolen!
I think it's also down to how effective a person you are - have the goal, work toward it, no faff. My recent goals have been band & album and those are going ok - I have (likely naive!!) hopes with the album - I'm loving it lol!!! APart from coming on here and going to cinema, I'm always *doing* something. No Corrie for me lol.

I don't want to be a dick so I won't prove this to you (and tbh I'm not interested, but someone, for example, who wants to find relatively well off people to defraud, might be).
There are some major 6 figure salaries on here, I'm certain!!

....that was only brought up by mellowsun I believe, halfway through the thread. Hmmmm.
What would realistically be the potential risks to someone knowing your real name and your real salary ? What use could that be to anyone ? (the emphasis here is on realistically, I'm not talking about some tortuous combination of bizarre events and circumstances that can be knitted together into a one-in-a-billion likelihood).
Offset "(Emp) - a little heavy on the hyperbole."
If I was a thief I'd be more likely to target someone who had a lot of money, rather than someone who had not very much.
Really though it isn't specifically about identity theft, at least not for me.
I don't even tell my mum how much I earn, why would I share it with people I kinda know on the internet but most of them I have never met.
It seems bizarre to do this.

This thread could be a classic phishing thread.
People who are happy to disclose salary because some random person says 'Hey, let's have a salary thread', may also be willing to be tricked into disclosing other information.
Maybe they have in other threads. We have a search facility on this forum. People tend to use the same usernames elsewhere, e.g. on SoundCloud or SoundClick.
We all do it. But we should be careful.
It's not just individuals though. It's easy to get people in organizations to disclose confidential information.
