Someone on this thread asked the reason I posted this thread. Other than the simple curiosity how other people are discussing money issues with their parents, I wanted to hear if some people are concerned about the possibility of being asked for a loan from your parents once they know how much you make.
When my mom asked me about my income, she said she is asking because she is concerned if I am going to be self sufficient for my retirement. But, at the same time, I have no idea how much my parents make because they are secretive about it. So, I try to be as vague as possible when she asks me about my income. My folks are not into flashy things and tend to be discreet. So, that would make extra difficult to find out their income level.
