I am not "lots of people." I have no interest in being "lots of people," or in proving myself to strangers on the internet.

I cannot convey 50 years of my financial life, experience, and history into what fits in an internet post. Anyone who can probably has a very narrow view of finance. I can say that I know how to manage my finances, and my accountant agrees with my methods and track record.

But if you think Reddit is the route to financial literacy, I can understand why you don't understand.

I don't necessarily think Reddit is a good route to financial literacy. Nor do I know of a better route. Despite (or because?) of all that, I still think the question was reasonable. If you don't want to answer the question, that's fine. But you don't have to be so antagonistic about it.

That response is awfully unconstructive and dismissive. Perhaps you're able to articulate why you believe Reddit, specifically r/personalfinance and other reasonable boards, are bad, no?
