And you don't want me to be jealous :)<br /><br />I agree that it is tacky, rude and unbecoming. Moreover, it is HORRIBLE to ask a coworker b/c, as you pointed out, it can only lead to problems. I don't have any advice other than to reply with a ridiculous question of your own. i.e. "So when are you getting your nose fixed?"Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262475380061058832.post-87459164433610255722010-03-24T08:38:17.518-05:002010-03-24T08:38:17.518-05:00Ridiculous.

I was the same way with you, I had no idea how much my parents made growing up, it just wasn't something that was discussed.<br /><br />To be honest? I would look at them and say "wow, that is so rude, I cannot believe you just asked that!". But that is just me and I don't mind being confrontational. Maybe just a simple, "I don't feel comfortable discussing our personal finances" would be okay :)d.a.r.https://www.blogger.com/profile/00631548794999476930noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262475380061058832.post-40851437989109353922010-03-22T15:23:26.625-05:002010-03-22T15:23:26.625-05:00I agree with what you said.

My Mom tends to dig trying to find out what the hubs and I make and it makes me crazy. People just need to know that we're fine and that's it. I simply tell them it's none of their business.. It's seriously shocking that people think it's ok to ask these sorts of questions...Perfectly Imperfecthttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16128584550959614381noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262475380061058832.post-56812651823403260102010-03-22T14:25:34.503-05:002010-03-22T14:25:34.503-05:00I agree with you and your husband.

I've never had so many people ask about money as at my current job. When they found out we were moving to NZ for my husband's job, suddenly everyone was asking how much money he was being offered. It actually shocked me. I think it's rude to discuss such things, and maybe that makes me old-fashioned, but I think the only thing it does is incite greed and comparison-making. I've told people, "He'll make enough for us to get by", but they still persist. Finally, I've just said, "I'm not going to tell you the actual amount", and then just repeated that it's enough to get by and for us to afford the things that we need. I really think that some people just don't see a problem with it, but it makes me incredibly uncomfortable!Jenny @ Practically Perfect...https://www.blogger.com/profile/12590373823861775665noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262475380061058832.post-77382813408056494452010-03-22T12:53:45.555-05:002010-03-22T12:53:45.555-05:00I think the best response when someone says or ask...I think the best response when someone says or asks something out of line is "Why would you say/ask that?"

I can tell she utilizes it as a method of comparison, but I do my best to always keep those things private. In some instances, it even makes me feel uncomfortable... Do I care that your mother's "rolling in it" (!!!)? Or that your fiance just got a much-awaited bonus that's 20%/$$$ more than he's currently making. Nope, sorry, could care less. I don't want to begin putting value on those types of things, when they really don't mean much anyways and I feel very fortunate for all that we do have - without boasting too much :-)Arlynnhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06201718517263059368noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-262475380061058832.post-46194481052305317742010-03-22T11:20:34.509-05:002010-03-22T11:20:34.509-05:00Thats crazy!

I could understand it in the circumstance that someone is wanting to get into the same line of work as you and are curious as to what a general salary is, but I don't know how I would handle it in a situation like this. Simply tell them you don't wish to discuss!<br /><br />Good luck girly -Chelseahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06828873791011838405noreply@blogger.com
