[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Nope.  My parents had a cow when they saw my house price ($420k for a completely renovated townhouse, which was just about the best I could do!) and then figured out we make more than they think.

My sister is an exec and super obnoxiously tells everyone not only her salary but how much every object she purchases costs.  It's crass.  My other sister is a teacher and it can be hard on her at times to be around this behavior.

My cousin was sharing with her parents her salary and I told her to stop.  She saw my point when she finally did and her dad said "how am I supposed to be proud of you if I don't know?"   So sad.[/quote]

Ugh, my husbands european family thinks we're loaded because we have a single family home with a basement (they never saw one of these before). Now they like to fly over for weeks and eat us out of house and home, rationalizing that we have 'so much income and savings'. Too bad we both work our butts off to pay grad school loans and childcare. They didn't have either of those, and grandma never worked a FT job.

I'd avoid specifics. Ad if you have to say something, be sure to add in cost of living and the high tax rates. [/quote]
