    Default What is a Spendthrift Guru?

    Silly questions, lol, but was looking under the names. Looks like I'm a spendthrift guru. What does that mean?? I spend freely and talk others into doing the same? Isn't that what a guru is, a person who advocates? How many posts do I need to have to move on up to a better sounding status??

    Step 3: to follow, won't know aim until things settle
    Step 4: to follow, currently at 6%
    Step 5: grown child
    Step 6: huge mortgage ANNIHILATED!!
    Step 7: ahhhh....

    You can change your title if you go to your "user cp" at the top of the screen and choose edit profile, there is an option to change your title to whatever you wish. You don't have to stay a spendthrift guru, .

    Under 'Edit Profile' scroll down to 'Custom User Text' it is right under your birthdate. That is where you can change your 'title'.

    Also I don't know how many posts you need to move on to the next title, but Spendthrift Guru is just because you are new here. Keep on posting and you will see it change in no time!

    I don't have the 'Custom User Text' under my birthdate in the Edit Profile. Just me being a butt, but just think it's funny that someone with 22 posts is a Competent Cheapskate, but someone who's posted more is a Spendthrift. *scratches head* I confooosed.

    I don't have that option either. I haven't really paid attention to people's titles though so it doesn't matter to me

    Well, Pammyboat, it looks like through the magic of Moderators, you and I have gotten new titles.
