Too Much and Never Enough
July 27th,A couple months ago I recorded a guest spot on a friend’s Human Sexuality lecture.
She brought up an interesting point: It is just as taboo to talk about money as it is about sex. (Which is why I think it’s great fun to bring money into your sex — but that’s another story.)
Whatever I make, it’s at once too little and too much. Too much to feel comfortable discussing, and never enough to justify it.

Discussing money certainly is very taboo, which I find strange. Kind of like the way I find not discussing sex strange. I literally have to bite my tongue in the office when paydays roll around.
And it’s kind of dumb, I think, since like discussing sex, if everyone was to discuss their salary we’d probably all be a lot better paid. In case you’re unaware of it, Penelope Trunk is a brilliant blogger who writes about jobs, careers, and (very occasionally) sex.

I love her! I found her blog a long time ago, lost an entire night reading it, and couldn’t find it again. Thank you so much.
