This theme was touched upon in another thread and I wanted to discuss it further.

So you would offer it to someone IRL? Have you and what kind of relationship did you/do you have with them?

I can see where there are conversations, and certain relationships where this might come up...but honestly, I just can't imagine it, personally.

I absolutely love these: http://www.barneys.com/Babel%2085/159016230,default,pd.html&xSProd=155028516_2_

Too bad I don't have a spare $1550 laying around. I'm trying to work up the nerve to buy a pair of knee high black dress boots for $200 or $300.

What type of conversations and relationships do you think this would come up? I ask because my dh is the only person (besides my boss who I am sure doesn't even remember until raise time and has the amount right in front of her-lol!!) who knows how much I make and then still I am sure I could ask him right now and he would not know exactly.

I agree. I just bought a pair of shoes for $50 (crazy on sale, originally $180) from a company devoted to fair labor prices and environmentally friendly business practices. I can see spending more for a pair of shoes that is well made from an ethical company, but for $900 you're most likely paying for way more than that.

Same here. Some months I tell him how much he made that month.

If the conversation and/or relationship were right, yes.
