It’s funny how a culture can make something as mundane as “talking about money” feel like either a badge of honor or the ultimate faux pas.

The American embrace of financial ambition almost feels like it’s baked into our national identity.

It does make you wonder how much this "virtue" is driven by the cultural narrative versus pure necessity in our highly capital-driven society.

And isn’t it fascinating that something so normalized in one place can feel downright taboo elsewhere?

Thanks for sharing this interesting cultural observation Chingmay, definitely food for thought!
