I think no. I earn quite a bit and have been in the same dilemma as you before. If I tell people how much I earn I normally end up making excuses, putting myself down or going on about how many bills I have to pay etc so that they don't feel envious. I've learnt it's best to just say that you're ok, or make a joke and say so much you don't know!

Bit nosey - I personally wouldn't want to tell my best friend as I earn a lot more than her. How much money you earn doesn't make you a better or worse person. I like people for themselves, not how much money they have in their bank account!

This is entirly up to you! if you dont mind people knowing thats fine, but if you do tell them and don't want anyone else knowing make sure you can trust them!
And as far as you earning big money they will only envy you!

My employees used to ask. I always responded $5.15 an hour. They knew I was lying but, at the time I was barely making twice that.
Sometimes a sarcastic response is better than one where you flat out refuse to tell them.

Does the Aston Martin and the 5 bedroom house not give them a clue??

First off, it's rude to ask someone how much they make. 2ndly, it's really up to you if you tell them. I'd just say, 'I'm doing well and expect to do better soon.'

If you have to ask the first part of this question, it is unlikely the second part is true.

It's not an appropriate question to ask anyone, but if they ask then yes...tell them!
