Anyway, if you can afford a Z you can't be doing that awful, relaitvley speaking.

This is an old boomer thing -- back then people actually earned a decent living (i.e., one income supported a family with more money for luxuries). Today, two incomes are needed to get by, often with some debt.

Anyway, Gen X and Y have no reason to feel awkward -- just tell it like it is.
Couldn't agree more, 2 wages are generally needed today for most people
I personally don't go around telling everyone what i make, but if someone asks I usually tell them. (Or I tell them "not enough" haha)
