Well, other than the fact that I'm not inclined to put too much of my personal info in a single post on the WWW, and find the endless "what did you have for lunch" type threads a bit too inane to respond to most times, I don't find questions about how much I paid for my home to be rude, unless I find the particular person asking to be a rude person, and most people who've asked me over the years have not been. I have nothing to be ashamed of in how much I paid, nor do I worry it might reveal much about my income. I also don't find such questions too intrusive, because in reality, how much I paid is a matter of public record. I, or anyone truly inclined, can go to the county assessor's website and find out square footage and who paid how much for any property, any time.[/quote]

here in the U.S. what one paid for their house is public record.
