[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Not sure how someone "slips" their income.  We make way more than people would think we do and we definitely don't share it or flaunt spending.  We appear comfortable but no one would know how much we make. [/quote]

I assume that since this was a college friend, the conversation took a turn toward the struggle to get ahead, make ends meet, looming college costs, need to find a new, better-paying job ... all the things that change financially in your post-college life, and that at some point, the friend basically had to say that she gets it, but she's not worried/struggling/having the same fears.

It happens. The conversation takes a turn where you either have to say something or it becomes really inauthentic, and then if it comes out later through the grapevine or something, you know the friend will feel like you were being fake in the conversation or hiding something from her. In a group, you can just sort of not participate much, but one on one I can see how you might have to say something.[/quote]
