All of the utility people that stopped by today have asked how much we paid for our house... I can't decide if that's weird or not.

We got the same question at our new house as well.
it is weird but they can look it up pretty easily. Publicly available data that has been digitized by a bunch of publishers.
right. I mean, I had no problem telling them. Just seemed like an odd question for a service person to ask.
I guess they spend a lot of time interacting with people when they first buy homes.
weird.

In an effort to get people to be less weird about talking about money, tell them! How else will we, collectively, know the price of things or if we are getting paid unfairly or if we got hosed on a deal? And you can make your friends in over-priced housing markets like LA feel SUPER jealous at what you got for your money.
We get asked how much we made when we sold ours lol. It's like, what?!?
