What are the consequences of sharing the digits of your income with your friends and parents?

Complete Erasure.
Becoming the wrong one. Making everything bad your fault. Dying before death, being unwelcome to have children. Having siblings suggest a third term abortion. Having no more classmates.

Money ruins a lot of families. Causes more problems and hurt feelings, than helps. It makes one paranoid of they don't know how to handle being rich. It can make you feel crazy. Some get Sudden Wealth Syndrome. Especially movie stars. It just goes to show, money does [i]not[/i] buy happiness. And sometimes money makes people sad because they have everything they want and there's nothing to dream or hope for. Money is not evil, in itself. It is the "root" of all evil, when it makes people crazy and possessive, or greedy, when one makes it their god. It helps in a number of ways, but it will never buy happiness. It is always wanting.
Dire. I think that's one of the most foolish things a person could do.
When I told my last employer I was semi retiring and moving down to Florida, all the sudden I had all these new “friends” giving me their phone numbers, and “Hey we gotta hang out before you leave!” The same people I’d seen for years now wanted to know me. I threw the phone numbers away. Bye.
Wow! That’s really cheesy! @4meAndyou

It's none of their business what you earn.

My father used to show off when my parents went out west every summer, and they bought a refrigerator for my grandfather. You should have heard the sour grapes from other family members.

Most farmers and people who live in the boonies DON'T earn a lot of money, and they resent it when other people appear to have more.
Friends and parents either shoving money your way feeling pity, or friends and parents looking all 🥺 asking for your support 💁🏻‍♀️😋

Nothing. Everybody knows my income is higher than that of most people in town.

I don't have any friends who are rude enough to ask what I earn.
