[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I agree it's friendly (or unfriendly insecure) ribbing, but the solution is to stop talking about it so much. 
   "What are you doing this weekend?"
   "Oh, just seeing family."
So easy.

I would never tell coworkers we had a second home. [/quote]

That's... odd. You're going to spend your waking hours with people for years and years and years and not tell them what you do on the weekends? No offense, but are you on the spectrum?[/quote]

I'm the PP you quoted. I absolutely have coworkers who would ask to use that house. And I have worked for people who would deprioritize my raise because I have a second house so I must be doing fine financially.

I talk about my kids, my dog, my garden, my parents' health issues, my camping trips. I do not talk about family property or family money or the fact I have a pool (again, visitors).[/quote]

Well, then you just need to learn to set boundaries and use the word 'no.'

My boundary is that I don't share the info. Unless you're the tax man, you don't need to know what I own. I bet plenty of your coworkers have property, boats, or private clubs they simply fail to mention. [/quote]
