Talkin’ about your salary: The last taboo?

April 27, 2008

There’s an interesting article by Alex Williams on today’s NYTimes.com about how comfortable or uncomfortable different generations are when it comes to talking about their income to friends, family and co-workers.

According to the article, people under 35 seem to feel that it’s OK to tell others what they make. In fact, it’s pretty normal. But those over 35 would rather keep it private.

I know that when it comes to my income, I keep it pretty much to myself. But then, I’m over 35. By about 15 years.

So, how do you feel? Is it OK to tell friends, family and co-workers what you make? Or would you rather walk barefoot over broken glass? Let me know.
