“NTA This is wild. I’m someone who strongly believes the stigma against talking about money is bullshit and mostly just serves to do harm. Everyone should be comfortable talking about how much money they make and be ok talking about what things cost. It would help prevent people from being taken advantage of. And even I think she went way too far. Even if she has some compulsion to know how much things are, or prepare for next year by knowing how much you guys typically spend, she should at least have the courtesy to keep it to herself.” – Normalize talking about basic finances. But a guest who tallies up the cost of all the gifts, and then wonders why we spent so much money? GTFO.
