I always change the subject if I can. I have had people try to press me further that’s when I mention it’s a gift. I would never ask such questions.There's been a couple of times where i was carrying a nice bag or wearing a piece of jewellery and i've been straight up asked by acquaintances or friends 'how much is that?' 'how much did that bag cost?' and i always find myself so uncomfortable because i don't like talking about money but i also don't want to come off rude. I don't know how to answer these kinds of questions.
How do you guys respond to these questions? Do you think its rude that people ask such things?
I always think they are trying to evaluate your wealth or disposable income. These questions I love to avoid at all costs. If someone is so desperate they can Google or figure out where it’s from and find out from the brand. I am not making it easy for them. Unless they are coming from a genuine place.
