To think it’s unusual to know how much friends or colleagues have in savings?

I’ve noticed on here that quite a few people seem to know how much their friends or colleagues have in savings. That really surprised me, as I wouldn’t have a clue what most people I know have saved. It’s just not something we talk about.

AIBU to think that’s unusual?

Anyone who says they know; either has a loose lipped friend/colleague - i wouldnt say its commonplace to discuss your financial information with friends, definitely not colleagues.

They can be guessing? Perception?

I have no idea.
