Even now, as a 29-year-old adult, I have no clue what my mother makes

Hey, my wife doesn't know how much I make. But nor does she care. If she asked, I wouldn't hide it :) It is unusual to know other people's income in the culture I grew up in and live in here in the UK though, so it's not too bizarre.



Now that sounds really weird to me, and here in Germany people aren't publishing their salaries either.

But I can't imagine not even stumbling over it by chance after at least a few years.

Apparently you're a lot less likely than I am to let your bank statements on your desk or the kitchen table.
