It's something I heard on TV. "Neither" is not an answer. So If you had to talk about one, which would you feel more comfortable talking about
A. Your Finances
B. Your Sex Life

And, "I ain't got none" is also not an answer.:)
 

I don't want ANYBODY to know about my finances!

So..........I'll brag about my sex life and lie like hell !
 

Finances in the past are much more fun to talk about than todays fixed income, and my sex life was amazing for the most part. Even unknowingly dated a porn actress for about a year..... :banana:
 
either one , i ain't shy lol

back in 2006 money magazine approached us and asked if we would like to be part of an article .

since i do my own planning they wanted to put me up against their team of pro's .

at first we were not going to do it because we didn't want our financial stats published .

then we thought about it and asked ourselves why not .

were we living a lie and living a lifestyle we couldn't afford ? nope

would long lost relatives going to hit us up for money ? nope

would i get kidnapped ? i am such high maintenance and needy they would likely pay my wife to take me back

were charties going to hound us ? maybe ...

so we could not see one reason everything had to be hush hush .

so we did it and 8 million people read it .

because we used all fidelity funds fidelity contacted us and wanted to feature us in their fidelity investment magazine they used to have so we did that too .

we really have no reason not to discuss numbers where relevant .

today food has surpassed sex so i watch the food channel like its porn . i watch those rib masters and fantasize about them using liptor as a dry rub ha ha ha
 
The reason I asked this, it was on the TV show, "Adam Ruins Everything". He said that Americans would rather talk about their sex life than their finances. That's something I have heard long before. There is a religious belief that wealth is a sign of God's approval. So if you weren't wealthy, God didn't approve of you. In my own family, my parents never discussed finances. My mom never told me what my parents paid for their home, in 1960; until I was 55, and had been out of the house 37 years. When she told me she acted as if she was telling me "State Secrets". Her generation definitely would not talk about finances at all.
 
With Canucks, we have the whole don't be a tall poppy or divulge too much, reserved thing going on. For most of us, it is a matter of respecting each other's privacy. Cultural differences. I don't want to discuss either of these things, except with those very close to me indeed.
