Seems like she asked a question as a result of the conversation with her friend.  My response is that she shouldn't be discussing finances with friends to begin with.  [/quote]

And you need to get out of this mentality which is just as disturbing as a stepford wife group-think. Finances, particularly [i]her[/i] finances, are hers to discuss as she wills. Especially with individuals and friends she's trusted for over two decades.

“A woman’s preaching is like a dog’s walking on his hind legs. It is not done well; but you are surprised to find it done at all.” - Samuel Johnson, 1971

That goes beyond religion to politics and to business ventures. Get your head out of your ass and own your portfolio. [/quote]

Not sure what this has to do with being a woman.  My husband also abstains from discussing finances with his friends.  We may discuss certain investments or mention rental properties but NEVER mention numbers, which is what OP was doing.  [/quote]

[b]Wow you are so superior [/b]because you "NEVER mention numbers." Do you want a cookie? [/quote]

I never said anything about being superior.  I do firmly believe it's in your best interest to not talk numbers with friends.  Don't share your salary, 529 contributions, 401k contributions, broker account balance, car payment amount etc. [b] it's seriously no one's business and you have nothing to gain by sharing it.  [/b] [/quote]

Aside from perspective and informative information. This is seriously why women are constantly underbid on salaries and prospects. You do what you want PP, but personally - [b]sharing with my friends, seeing what they're doing and even getting recommendations for financial advisors or better homeowner's insurance policies[/b] or an easier way to consolidate my financial portfolio has been extremely helpful for me.[/quote]

This is different than sharing your salary or how much you save in your 529.  It has nothing to do with being a woman!  My husband also has class and doesn't go around sharing how much we save in our 529 account!  It's no one's business.  [/quote]
