Our net worth on our sleeves?
Ouch.
Some of us would go from being invisible to being a target.
Not fun.

[...] This one is interesting, by Hazzard over at Everybody Loves Your Money, “I May Have Been a Peeping Tom in Another Life.” In it he says, “If only we could wear our net worth number on our sleeves instead of trying to drive our net worth, or live in our net worth, or wear our net worth.” Would that make people think twice before buying something they can’t afford?

Hazzard,

I’m right there with you. I get juiced when people start talking about their finances — good or bad. Usually it’s bad. Around here, at least, the people who have it “good” don’t much talk about it. The people who have it “bad” won’t STOP talking about it — usually about their “victimhood.”

I, too, am really looking forward to Dave Ramsey’s show.

Wouldn’t that be interesting? A net worth tag…then it’d be much harder to live lives we shouldn’t be…but then again, is there such a thing? This is America…negative net worth doesn’t mean squat….especially when I have $1mil in credit! wooohooo!

The show sounds interesting. We have a tendency to be curious about our neighbors finances too!

a reality show is in the making. CBS is to carry a reality show with Dave Ramsey. I am still waiting to hear dates and times. I am looking forward to hearing more about that show, ands when the special that will test the waters (start it off) will be.
