My crew and I are tight nit- 20-30 years, we knew when we had $100 between all of us (struggling students) and salary, severances, annuities, investments, disability, unemployment, child support paymemts, alimony- we know it all, because we share everything. But we dont feel entitled to find out, we just discuss things very openly. That being said, Im not in the business of discussing my money with random folks all willy nilly. I've found, especially since I've been unemployed, folks that are just loose associates have been very inquisitive about my finances and the means for which I survive.

 said so much better than I could have.

My best friends and I discuss money freely. No big deal. I'd never talk about it with someone I'm not close with or don't trust.
If I don't know or trust you, don't worry bout what I make or how I spend it. As long as I don't have a hand out for yours, we good. |
I'm just curious as to why you don't think I should trust a person like that.. What's your opinion?

I don't know if this has been said before, but this "new friendship" of yours does not look promising. Watch your back.

My friends and I are in the same socio economic bracket... money doesnt need to be discussed, there is no call for it...

This... and I hope OP checked the girl. Whether you pay for everything out of your own pocket or you have a sponsor/SO who takes care of you is none of her business. She sounds messy & jealous. ETA: I learned a long time ago not to assume that because someone has nice "things" that they're financially okay. For the past few years, I've run in a circle full of people in the high profile blogger circuit. Lots of them are being gifted ridiculous things - including cars, nice vacays, etc. So, on the surface their life could be considered "enviable". But, that doesn't always mean their bank accounts are matching the lifestyle they're living. Long story short, my bank account is my business & your bank account is your business. Unless we're discussing how to collectively move up the ladder, your financial issues are none of my concern.

People who don't even know you like that and are already trying to gauge what you have are usually bitter cuz they don't have it, or plotting to see what you have so they can hit you up for something.

I don't discuss money with "new friends". I will say i've never had "new friends" ask about my finances. All that matters is can u lunch with us at Club Cafe on Saturday.
