[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Who ARE you guys that people talk so candidly about money around you? I mean, I could see him saying "we had some help from our parents", but exact dollar figures and whatnot? I don't believe you. I'm from a wealthy circle and its almost like a game, who can hide their trust fund better as we all live lives that are below our means. [/quote]

I hate to break this to you but when someone has no money for a down payment, they have to tell their parents the exact amount they need or they won't be buying a house.  It's really not that complicated.  [/quote]

I think you are misunderstanding the PP. Sure you would talk finances with involved parents/family members- that's a given. But you would not have an open discussion with a random neighbour or other extended social circle, especially with critical details. It's unnatural.

I would think the person who came out with the money talk was either very gauche or lying to give the nosy party what they wanted: some gossip.[/quote]

Exactly. The OP isn't the parent or child who needed/gave the money, they are a friend or colleague. I don't believe OP.[/quote]
