Money can be a tricky topic of conversation for any individual, and usually, people keep information about what they earn to themselves.

I think people feel strange talking about how much they earn as there is usually a notion that it won't be enough as compared to other people. Also, how much you make shouldn't really matter to anyone else, but to yourself and your significant other - if you're married, that is.

So why is it the case that some families try to figure out how much you take home at the end of the month? Is it a case of them being nosey, or just concerned? It's a tough line to draw.
