...I like to post numbers because it actually means something to me at least.
As well it also gives validity to the topic, it wasn't a flippant, 'oh well' it was only $500, big deal.
I'm not into a peeing contest over who lost the most, I gave numbers to show it wasn't a simple thing that happened in my life to ignore or pass off, it can seriously affect things in a person's life.
How anyone can see that posting an amount as boasting is beyond me.
If you really want to know, I also lost another $11,000 to a Christian businessman whom I trusted for work I did. That is actual money, not investment type.
Man, are we so bound up legalistically with self pride that we can't share in here without fear of being brow beaten because of a dollar amount was shared?
But nevertheless, if posting numbers offends you (otherwise why would three people post about it) then my apology.
