If you tell somebody that you make $1,000,000 per year or $30,000 per year, they are going to have different perceptions of you based upon socialization. Therefore, if you are the type of person that doesn't value the perceptions of money, then I say tell people what you make. If you are the type of person that values the perception of money, then don't tell them what you make. For example, I was talking to my father the other day and he told me he makes $500,000 per year. I said, "damn, why don't you pay my student loans off." The point here is that I looked at my father the same way, but because he told me what he made, my instincts told me to ask him for money, because I have never asked him before.
