to find it utterly vile when people boast about how much money they have?

[FreddysTeddy]

I just find it so crass when people insist on dropping their salary (or worse, their husband's salary) into conversation/onto threads.

AIBU to find it a bit vulgar? Is it some kind of old-school British thinking that makes me feel like this?

Plus, people who are happy and confident don't tend to need to boast about things so I always have a tendency to think that the boaster is telling porkies anyway.

generally, not having tact or sensitivity in relation to the topic ends badly !

it is surely self evident that saying on a TTC thread, ' sorry, cannot help , concieved all 8 of my children by DH simply breathing on me ...' or saying ' i don;t know about economising, i earn a 6 figure salary, but good luck to you' on a thread about subsisting on benefits is not a good idea.

i do think that bandying about figures about what you paid for your house, how much your DH earns, etc etc.. is bad form, here and in RL.

and context can often make a throw away comment seem a lot worse
