A visit of hometown

It was so amazing that accidently four of my relatives asked me the same sensitive question of my income. It is so important that they just could not help keep nagging and pushing for the answer, however reluctantly telling me of how much they earn or what they are information is. Usually, I was too honest and frank to simply answer all the questions that raised. After that I somehow left with a feeling of revealing too much of myself and therefore made myself vulunrable of something that I could not quite figure it out. Probably gossip to start with, then some unpredicted troubles within family such as money borrowing and so on. Obviously I had received much more friendly treatment this time than any other time in the past. Distance has made everything ease a bit, but I just could not help thinking that how not to give out information that easily. The simple and easist way is just to aviod any further contact.
