I have never understood why people think it is such a taboo to talk about ones net worth or salary.

People might kill and/or rob you for your money if times are bad and you are not popular.

So it makes sense to be quiet about what you have at times.

People will beg you to give them money because they're poor and "you can afford it," or because their church needs renovations, or something else. Just kill me, take my money, and get it over with already.

Winning the lottery sounds great too until all those fourth uncles on your mothers side start crawling out of the woodwork looking for a handout.

Don't tell anyone what you have unless you're willing to hurt them to defend it. Money makes good people do dumb things.

Good people, no. People who fooled you into thinking they were good.
