I simply talk to my wife. Wifes talk to other wifes about everything. Sex, money, kids, relatives, EVERYTHING. Its how women deal with things, they talk it out.

Guys simply say stuff like, hey baseball game was good ehh? Yeah, good. LOL. But I do have good friends I talk about money. Its just like talking about anything else. People love to tell you about their crazy medical issues, its funny many think talking about money is taboo.

Sometimes if I'm bored I will look up their names at the registry of deeds website and see that they did take a Heloc out 3 years ago then spent like drunken sailors for the next 3 years and now they are broke and have a huge heloc payment on top of that. Its not uncommon to go nuts with Heloc money.

What an assumption. You have no idea what kind of money these people have.

To the OP, again an assumption. Maybe he's gay. Maybe he's storing the cars for someone.
