I have no problems telling people that information but would not ask unless I knew them well and felt that it would not insult them. |
This is how I was raised, in a very small southeastern Oklahoma town. I consider questions like these very rude. I have been asked about the price of my pups often, and I try to be polite in my replies, but I make it clear that it is none of their business. If I choose to tell a close friend what I've spent on something that is one thing, but to have a complete stranger ask me for that information is something else entirely.
I have a friend who insists on telling me how much she pays for everything. And I'm not talking about finding a good deal on a sale. What she paid for her car, her house, her breast implants, etc. is none of my business and it makes me very uncomfortable when she talks about how much she spends - that should be kept personal IMO.
