In which case you really shouldn't tell a public forum about it.

Maybe it's my jaded European mindset, but - rich people have been a target since the dawn of civilization, flaunting wealth is a good way to attract attention from bad people.

The chances of someone finding me through this public forum are very low. Following this username takes you to a person from Reddit who I am not. If you follow the clues in my posts, you'll narrow it down to a farmer who also works in colleges, and who lived in the Midwest at some point, but doesn't anymore, and whose parents live in an area of the world that is kind of arid. There's a lot of those type of people.

I'm more concerned about locals finding out. That's why I don't talk about the cash I have on hand in my real life, ever.

I feel like that's relatively easy to do?
