    I guess it's another difference between the US and Europe. From what I heard of, it's a common question to ask how much someone earns. In Europe it's seriously one of the last tabous.
    I have no idea how much my own parents earn, and I don't want to ask them. It'd almost be like asking them what their favourite sexual position is. yuck

    Seriously? When I was a kid (and I mean like 4) my grandparents used to say "let's not talk about money in front of the children". That was then. I don't know what the norms are in Poland these days, the days of survaillence under communism are long gone. But in Norway it's no taboo, every year the IRS publishes the tax returns of all citizens, for two weeks they are available online and if you know the persons full name and town, you can check their income, from your paperboy to the prime minister. When I was working last year, I checked the income of all my colleagues for instance.

    If what you do is legit, why would you be so afraid of divulging it?
