I looked at my information and am a little hacked off at the amount I’ve paid in, never mind how much I made!

When you tell someone how much income you've made over a certain amount of time, I'd call that personal. What's unwarranted is you thinking you're the TBH end all.

I wasn’t meaning anything derogatory, for what it’s worth.

Old numbers are pretty random and innocuous, and don’t tell the whole story for most, I imagine.

Just interesting to go back and look at.

First Million Dollars in Income

I feel like not talking about money is a generational thing. I don't understand it. If one of my friends asks me about my income, investment strategies, etc., I would share without hesitation. I don't see the downside to it, but maybe I'm young and naïve.

I think it is generational. I was taught to never ask a man how much he made, how many acres he owned or how many cattle he had. I probably never heard anyone asked that in my first 30 years of life. Hear it all the time now.

This thread did none of that by the way.

Comment wasn't at you amigo. It was pretty obvious my comment above was sarcastic, and comical. Some like to think they're the TBH police and need to inject their rhetoric on every thread. All good.

Same, oddly it was my mother who taught me that…except for the cattle. I didn’t know anyone who had enough cattle that I couldn’t count them from the road, aside from dairymen, and they’d tell ya.

It does drive me nuts when my employees discuss their own compensation packages though. I tell them all that if that is your only reason for asking me for a raise, you’re not likely to appreciate my answer. And that discussing it takes away my ability to treat them as individuals.

I don’t discuss what I make either, but I do find it interesting how we all started. Lessons to be learned.

The only reason you would state what you have made and in what time it took is to brag. Sorry but that is my opinion. Now flame me.

Man I respect you as a member on here so I won’t stoop to name calling All I did was agree with Dale. If you don’t want to participate by answering the OP’s question then you certainly don’t have to. No one is giving away any real personal info. It’s just a conversation. Turns out a few folks didn’t know they could look at their lifetime earnings. At least this thread was a positive for that.

I'm still looking for my 1st 100k.
