Casual acquaintances and co-workers don't usually have your best interest at heart and will be tackless,careless, and insensitive about your financial situation. IA w/article - We should be able to talk more openly about finances. I think it would be extremely helpful! It would provide a sense of accountability between people and release some pressure of having to say "NO" to going somewhere or buying something. But, finances are a personal issue so like with other personal issues, you have to be cautious about who you tell your business. @Ceecee – Your experience with your co-workers is proof that financial conversations should be had ONLY between FRIENDS/FAMILY like the article says.

Hey maybe they are even worse off and just laughing instead of crying. @Ceecee – I’m sure those jokers around the water cooler are experiencing the same thing – like we all do.

Finances came up once in a conversation with some coworkers and I casually mentioned how I was in the red (I constantly struggle with balancing my finances even though I read up on smart money management and practice the principles all the time) So I've been labeled as the money careless spender when we joke around during water cooler conversations.
