[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Mine probably is because we're feds, so the space between one grade level is not huge, and my boss's spouse passed away. Since we both have small children, I'm sure that's even harder than the slightly lower HHI my boss deals with. It's not awkward, it's life. I don't get this thread. [/quote]

I know! And plenty of people have family money or have had to take out loans for college or are advantaged/disadvantaged financially in ways not reflected in their w-2 pay. My boss worked at multiple startups pre-IPO and was in the c-suite before stepping back due to her husband dying and needing to raise her young child on her own. She seems financially savvy but I know very little about her finances and I don’t care to. Information about wealth complicates professional relationships.[b] Unless you are close enough for someone at work to tell you this information themselves you really have no business trying to find it out yourself and even if you can guesstimate HHI you likely don’t have the entire financial picture.

This is true of personal and professional relationships - no one ever owes ANYONE an explanation of their finances.  To ask only shows that side of you, and it is not pretty.
