Since I go by the name Sarakastic, it's a pretty good bet that being polite isn't really my thing. However, I at least like to know what technically I should be saying in a situation before I go to the sarcastic alternative. That's why I found this article about money etiquette so intriguing. Sure, there were the basic money problems like "What should you say when someone asks how much something costs?" This could be something like your house, the best wrinkle cream, or even your shoes. Some people are comfortable about talking openly about money and they make a lot of other people uncomfortable by being too open.
However, then there were the situations that I'd never thought about like “How many times you can ask your inner circle to donate to charity?” The article suggests that it's unlimited for close family but you should only do this twice a year with everyone else. I have no idea why two is the acceptable number. Some of the advice, like helping a complaining friend find a financial counselor, seems a little bit rude to me. This is exactly why I don't pay attention to etiquette.
