When people brag about their salary...it gets tiring.

I'm not sure if you experience this thing often but recently many people I've talked to have started bragging about their amazing salary or wages. Now I find this to be extremely distasteful and it shows a lack of classiness. I met up with former colleagues who are so obsessed with money that all they can think about is money and making more money. I prefer not to discuss money and it drives me nuts that people feel superior to others because they earn a lot.

Yes, I can undrstand that! There re some people for whom success means earning money in their lives! This trend is becoming more in young generation and in the rat race to make money people are misssing the actual happiness of the life which comes for free.

Bragging about earning a lot can also backfire and those kinds of people often wind up losing their jobs. They just speak out once too often. I have never bragged about how much I made when I worked outside of my home and I never would.

I wouldn't like that either. However, haven't come across too many people who do that. That is usually considered personal information and is treated as such

It is in very poor taste to talk about money. I even see it on myLot sometimes.

Distasteful, yes, lack of classiness, very much so. Most of the people that I know well don't have anything close to a big salary to brag about. However, I do know many people who find other things to brag about.
I see it as nothing more than insecurity. Irregardless, it's still distasteful and it lacks classiness.

I do not like to hear people brag about making a lot of money either but another thing that I hate is hearing someone always saying " I would but I don`t have the money" when you know they would have money if they just spent what they make wisely.
I dont mind advice on certain things, like how for me to make more, but people do not share that part.

I don't really like conceited people. I just ignore what they said and find a way to discuss another topic.

@tzwrites Yes. Sadly, many fall for the trap since these people know how to draw attention to them.

How much your salary is should be confidential. When one talks about his salary he is blatantly bragging. And sometimes some people brags about it's because they are after all after all sad in other aspects of their lives.

There is always a proper time and place to talk about anything, doing it out of timing would be interpreted as lack of class or even vulgar so people need to be careful.

Yes, that is quite tasteless, you should never discuss money with others.
