[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Do you talk about your money? Show your money? Buy flashy things?
Who in your family or friends knows how much you make or how much you have? Who do you talk bonuses with? Or stock investments?
[b]My SIL outright asks my DH how much we make???! [/b]Nunya. Nunya F**cking Business! I tell him to deflect or answer vaguely (Not as much as last year haha) or something like that. I think it’s bc they have a little money now at 55 so they like to drop a line like We spent 10K on our trip to Hawaii, can you believe it?!  :roll: Do people new to money do this on the regular? [/quote]

I think it makes sense for her to ask since she's your DH's sister and has known him her whole life. Maybe they come from a family where talking about finances is normal. [/quote]

I would not like if DH answered SIL about how much money we make.  She doesn’t work, has been evicted from multiple apartments, and has creditors after her.  She would only be asking to determine how much she can mooch from us. [/quote]
DP, but I agree.

There's something different to me about asking how much something cost (a new car, fancy hotel on vacation, etc) vs asking someone how much they make. [/quote]

It's not like a random stranger asking you how much you make. It's your immediate family. I find it odd that you would hide those facts from them, unless you have reason to believe that they have ulterior motives.[/quote]
Also, found the nosy nancy! [/quote]

This. Have never had a family member or friend ask how much we make. So rude. [/quote]

I have no problems telling friends and family members how much I make. Being transparent is always thousand times better than being secretive. Also, my salary information is public. Even if I wanted to hide it, anyone can find it.[/quote]

Oh FFS, if your salary is google-able they've already googled you.

And I have no problems with it.[/quote]
