i think its class-less to state ur income without being asked even in this situation....it can do nothing but cause negatives here to me: make them jealous/hateful/spiteful, make u look like an ass....make them feel bad about thier incomes/lives/living style....there is NO reason to just state what u make...none. Even if asked i dont say if in this situation or i laugh it off and say something else. If its a one on one situation and somoene is askin me directly im more inclined to tell if its someone not very close to me or my best friend - i feel more uncomfortable telling my "frequent aquaintences" up and through "good friends"

Besides...when i find out through others that a certain person has money, owns alot, etc or even if i find out from them after i have known them for some time I am more impressed and respectful of them as a person and cant be negative towards them b/c they havent flaunted it or tried to make others feel bad and are (usually) a guinuine person...aside from those who dont tell JUST for this reason (to be looked at in a good light)

bottom line...it looks tacky to me...
