Oh FFS, if your salary is google-able they've already googled you. |
I try not to talk about it but lots of people bring it up. I give vague answers/deflect. It is none of anyone’s business how much money we have. I do know what one sibling makes and the extent of their assets as they went through a divorce and asked for my help. |
I was fortunate to have genuine Old Money friends in college to emulate.
They never mentioned numbers about anything except to remark wine was a better buy by the case. |
Yeah the only people who truly never talk about money are those who have so much they don't even notice. |
Yes, but you need to talk about it to get there. I'm sure the first generation was all about money or lack of it or there was no reason to go for it. |
Maybe they want to keep it on the low because otherwise you'll realize that their family got their money from slavery, colonization, child labor, supporting the Nazis, etc. If you want to emulate that, go right ahead. |
And I have no problems with it. |
+1. It’s kind of gauche to discuss actual numbers for the sake of discussing actual numbers but if I was an NEO and my salary was in the Proxy I wouldn’t shy away from responding to questions from friends and family. |
What are you afraid of? You share your salary to strangers on DCUM, but you can share it with your siblings? That's weird. |
Blood guilt, huh. Nice. If you want to emulate THAT...? |
I talk about money all the time. Probably too much. I should rein it in probably. We are very middle of the road for dcum. |
i don't know if I'm "new money" or just new UMC?
I came from a modest mid-west upbringing now find my self making over a million a year in my mid-40s. Never thought I'd get here! |
Wrong. On all counts. |
