Particularly when you ask someone the price of an object that they have, you admire it, maybe you want one of your own or you wonder what something like that is worth. I'm not talking about gifts, here.
Then there is the issue of income or net worth. I can understand not making it everyday conversation at work and setting up a competition among co-workers.
I just wonder if being less secretive about money and budgeting in terms of lifestyle wouldn't help us to understand as a society what people can afford and how they make it happen...and help with our tendency to try to keep up with the Jones'.
As long as you don't judge someone based on their money situation, or brag about your finances...an open discussion between friends, etc should be acceptable.
Agree or disagree? Can you help me understand?
