This movie is amazing and by the way, I earn an embarrassing amount of money

Is it just me or are more and more people dropping how much they earn into completely unrelated conversations?

I can understand it as a response when I ask you how much you earn.
And if I don't know you well enough, please respond by saying it's none of my business.

But in a conversation about movies, random travel, birds, and all manner of arbitrary things...not so much. Then you're just the weirdo that tells people how much he/she makes because clearly, you're in desperate need of validation.

Wow, I'm on the other side of the problem. I have close friends asking how much I make and when I tell them and ask the same question in return I get answers like, "Not enough", "I'll tell you later" and "Look, Brad Pitt!"

Sheesh.

Maybe you're paid so well that it embarrasses them into silence. On the other hand...
