Do you ever feel the need to keep up with what your friends are making and or saving? I wrote about this topic a few months ago when I told a friend I was moving to SF. She wanted to know how I was going to afford it and then asked how much I make. I was pretty honest about how I manage my finances and stressed that I bring my lunch literally every single day and I don't eat out much and only buy clothes when necessary. Right after I revealed all those things, I kinda felt cheated into saying so much yet my friend wouldn't say how much she made. It wouldn't bother me if she made more ... she works in advertising at a big agency and has a year or two of experience ...

But after that I don't forsee us talking much more about income. In many ways, it just feels too personal a thing to talk about when you become an "adult."
