I've always been raised with the idea, as one person on another phone put it, that there are three things you don't talk about in life: sex, death, and income. Most ideas that are carried down from generation to generation seem to, at the least have a good basis for why they're good ideas. Sometimes the ideas may be outdated or the reasoning outdated... but talking about income perplexes me. I just KNOW you shouldn't talk about income, but why? And why has this been the case for SO long? In today's kinda money-centric culture, I can vaguely imagine reasons why this is the case. However, as far as I know, talking about income in polite company has been taboo since before any of us were even born. Why?
Now-a-days I can imagine with the income disparity having increased between people and with how much importance we've put on money... but what about way back in the day?
