The only reason I got to thinking about this is because it's something that you definitely can't/don't ask people IRL. And I don't really want to ask my friends honestly, it's none of my business and it doesn't affect my life at all, I'm simply curious.


I really wish this was one social construct that would disappear among good friends. I understand it not being polite walking up to random folks and talking about their money, but you would think the best people to talk too would be similarly situated individuals that you are close to.

I talk about money freely (at least in a strategic sense). If my friend were to ask me point blank how much I make and how I manage it, I would tell them. Otherwise, I keep the discussion on the macro level with tips and strategies that every income earner should know.

Whomever said 60% of salary at 28 can eat a dick. I didn't start working a career job until I was 26 years old.

This.

I've only discussed it with one of my friends, and it was while we were both buzzing in the drunken post game glow of an LSU victory while listening to the radio call in show.

The fact that we are in our mid twenties and have been good friends for over a decade helped

Oh, and the fact that his wife works AND he is a doctor so their finances are the opposite of embarrassing prob helped as well
