[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Party pooper. So too far ends got together and you "totally kept your mouth shut". Now that was awkward. [b]Had nothing to add or ask? Did you nod at least?[/b][/quote]

She didn't suggest they were friends -- she suggested they were coworkers. And typically people don't add or ask too much in awkward financial conversations with people they aren't close to bc even an innocent question can come across as judging. Or indicating that your own financial views are different can sometimes peak someone's interest when you may not want to. Much easier to nod along politely.[/quote]

My co-workers dropped comments about money all the time. Some would say small comments about trying to save money by packing lunch or how camp costs for 3 kids was killing them. There was one divorced guy who seemed like he was really struggling because a divorced wiped him out. We all were colleagues so we earned somewhat similarly give or take 50k. I earned around 150 plus bonus at that job. People talked about wanting to move, etc.

I never talked about money to my co-workers. DH earns a seven figure income. [/quote]
