In a way I'm worried it becomes suspicious, I don't really want acquaintances finding out about the blog. Like PA the blog is my outlet since I don't want to share this information with family/co-workers and Mr M couldn't care less.

And for the past 10 months, either we've been ill or our friends have been busy/ill/other. So we don't have a ton of discussions. <BR/><BR/>But in the rare event that we speak to non-family-members, I do find myself talking about PF a little too much. It's like a sickness. Of course, it was this way last year with weddings when I was planning our ceremony/reception. So maybe I'm just obsessive.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824441942893023866.post-73184188036047106222009-03-23T18:18:00.000-07:002009-03-23T18:18:00.000-07:00PF is kinda 'taboo' for us... love survivor ;)PF is kinda 'taboo' for us... <BR/><BR/>love survivor ;)jpkittiehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16042638265207370788noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824441942893023866.post-24248196549418415702009-03-23T18:03:00.000-07:002009-03-23T18:03:00.000-07:00OMG!

Everyone needs a guilty pleasure, right?<BR/><BR/>I've found it's usually best not to discuss PF with most people. A lot of people I know just stick their fingers in their ear and go "LA LA LA LA LA! IT DOESN'T MATTER 'CAUSE I'M JUST GOING TO MAKE MORE MONEY DOWN THE LINE! I'LL WORRY ABOUT ALL THAT WHEN I'M OLDER. LA LA LA LA LA!!!" Which is kind of like how I was before I decided to get serious about money.<BR/><BR/>Or, I get someone with wrong/bad information and nothing and no one can convince them that they are wrong because they heard it from their father's best friend's brother's step daughter's husband who's an IRS agent or something.<BR/><BR/>My close friend and my brother are super good, knowledgeable, and responsible with money. They are about the only ones I talk to about finance.Jin6655321https://www.blogger.com/profile/15034043132384662585noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824441942893023866.post-62185733867203066932009-03-23T10:45:00.000-07:002009-03-23T10:45:00.000-07:00Shows like that TOTALLY tempt me to get cable!

Most of my friends/associates are either completely clueless about PF or don't want to talk about it. So I just observe the money taboo and don't say anything unless someone else brings it up. But even then I'm reserved about what I'll share.Escape Brooklynhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02619558338660997233noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824441942893023866.post-27434798359765099652009-03-23T10:06:00.001-07:002009-03-23T10:06:00.001-07:00PF comes up a lot in conversation these days, whet...PF comes up a lot in conversation these days, whether you blog about it or not. We all want to know how everyone is weathering the storm and what they're doing differently. But I'm not sure what you end up talking about...I usually hear about how people are cutting back on expenses and debating what to do about their level of 401K contributions. People ask me how business is holding up, and I don't lie - it scares the hell out of me on a daily basis.<BR/><BR/>I find reading so many PF blogs makes it easier for me to understand what other people are going through, what solutions they've come up with, etc. so that I can converse on more topics than just those that affect me. But then, one of my two biggest social fears is talking about myself too much - so this definitely helps!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824441942893023866.post-52057386818444345512009-03-23T10:06:00.000-07:002009-03-23T10:06:00.000-07:00Haha, I love trashy reality shows.

Unfortunately, Chad is hogging the TV with the World Baseball Classic so I don't get to watch anything but that.<BR/><BR/>I actually started my blog because I wanted to talk about PF with someone. Chad doesn't care (I recently asked him what his salary is, and he didn't know!), my sisters think it's rude to talk about money, and my parents are in a completely different place than I am right now.

Go figure! <BR/><BR/>Well, PF does not dominate my conversations until someone gets the ball rolling on that subject. Then, I am all over it! Probably domineering at it, too. ;)Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8824441942893023866.post-39964437366512417902009-03-23T08:42:00.000-07:002009-03-23T08:42:00.000-07:00I may not talk about it a lot, but I get very exci...I may not talk about it a lot, but I get very excited whenever the topic is brought up.

Don't do the sleazy ones but that is probably because I have a teenage son passing through the living room.<BR/><BR/>As for your question - No. My kids usually dominate my conversation mostly because I'm talking to other moms.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
