Why publish personal income information online?

Geez Louise, I just don't understand presenting to the world one's personal income info...In some cases, precise income figures.

How many miles, how many signings; what's next, how many companies have you worked for?

Why, again, would anyone publish personal income info? On what other public forum is this info available?

An Identity Thief's treasure trove.

Susan , personally I have no problem saying how many miles I've driven, at best that was a guesstamate. All the other information you have mentioned , is far to private to be giving out to anyone but your CPA. JMO

I have long thought people give out away to much information on this forum and other places. Just look at all the personal information Bwrs' give us , information we don't need , didn't ask for and definately Do Not want to hear.

You would have to get a "shrink" to tell you why people reveal certain kinds of infomation to people unknown to them. And another "shrink" to tell you why people even Ask some of the questions you see on NR. Your guess is as good as mine. I sure don't lose any sleep over it. My motto is "You do your thing and I'll do my thing."

In the Not Too Distant Past...

...there have been individuals on this & other message boards who loved to utilize the kind of personal data (financial & otherwise) given out on this board as ammo against the ones posting it. In my opinion you should NEVER give out how much money you're making in this business OR how many signings you're performing. I see nothing wrong with giving out what your average $ fee per signing is, but not the # per month or your monthly/annual income from the business. JMHO from personal experience.
