Money Talks
Do you feel comfortable talking about how much money you have or make with just anyone? Talking about money in some cultures is taboo. While in others, the topic of money is only another discussion. Depending on where you visit, you may be culture shocked if the residents are comfortable discussing money and ask you how much you make.
Feeling comfortable having conversations involving money can significantly depend on the generation you were born in. In one visitor’s experience in Taiwan, the older generation was very comfortable discussing their kids’ salaries. The visitor was culture-shocked with their openness to ask about their pay.
