Thank you so much for putting it into words. I feel the same with the culture here. the place where I come from people put their annual salaries on their resumes. They don't believe in showing off or hiding that information.
Another reason for me aksing this question is I know some people who probably are earning same and are in similar situation like me but they live lavishly and in bigger nicer houses than me. It puzzels me how they manage it and still be happy. If I live like them I'll probably have no money left for saving at all that will make me very worried especially with 2 kids. I'm looking into buying a new house but can not figure out how much to invest and still feel good about the decision. It helps to hear other's persepctive and relax knowing that someone else is also in the same situation.
