▪ You might be tempted to share specific numbers. If it’s with your spouse or a very close friend or family member, okay. But beyond those people, ask yourself why. Is it to communicate that you’re doing well? Or is it to subtly show off? Are there other ways of communicating this? Remember, sharing numbers without context is a bad move. Your intention might be good, but to someone who earns £60,000, telling them you’re on track to have a £1 million portfolio (or much more) doesn’t communicate safety and security. It communicates arrogance.
