Your comment doesn't make much sense. I put most of my money into a savings account as I'm saving up for a house. I don't live a very frivolous lifestyle, if that's what you mean. However, I emigrated from Iceland to the UK, and some of the people I left behind do not have the luxury of doing the same, as they have families or relationships back home. How would it be fair of me to disclose my salary, just to show them what they can't have? Most people know I make good money, but maybe not exactly how much, and I try not to boast as I feel that is rude. Constantly going around telling people about my salary would probably not be well received, even if it was "in the interest of transparency of fairness"... Edit: I do not acknowledge it as luck, I worked my ass off to get where I am today!
