Is it rude to ask someone such as a classmate or coworker if their family has money. In my case I have a roomate who is an international student with an athletic scholarship but yet she flies back to south america for nearly every holiday and break. Meanwhile I struggle to come up with the means for a greyhound ticket domestically! Would it be rude if i just casually asked if her familys got money or if she has wealthy parents? Im just very curious.|||Never mention money, never mention religion, and never mention politics, just discuss everything else.

When drinking, if one were to pass gas, the stench will tell whether one drinks the good stuff or the cheap stuff.|||Yes, it's rude to ask, or to boast.|||Yes, you shouldn't ask. I would assume that as she can afford to be jetting about quite a bit, that they probably are, it's ok to be curious, but I wouldn't ask as it may make her feel uncomfortable.|||It tis indeed.

Seldom does it stop most people though.|||It would be rude to ask. If you were to ask, you would ask if they were "wealthy" rather than asking if they "had money" as that is the way it is sometimes phrased with "wealthy" people... you know... people from a "good" family.

There are other ways to find out. Ask her what her dad does. Ask her if she has cousins... just talk about things without appearing to talk about money.

btw I would assume that she's from a wealthy family if she's from s. america. they have rich people and poor people and not a lot in between. there are other possibilities, but she's probably rich or maybe she is an only child and her parents want her back all the time|||Yes it is rude. Instead, you could ask her if she has tips for how you can make it home to see your family inexpensively since she seems to be able to do it.|||I think, that should be none of your business anymore. Although there's nothing wrong in questioning, especially when you are very curious, yet that question seems funny, indeed. You might just imply an envious character towards her when you do. What's that for!? Do you think if you'll have the answer to your question, you could be as extravagant as her? You have your own life, live it!|||Yes its rude BUT you can initiate a conversation about your families and maybe say what your parents do for a living and then maybe he will tell you what his parents do for a living and so on.|||that is none of your business. you have no right to ask|||Money is just one of those topics better left alone. Your roomate or coworker might not take offense, but if they do, then you have to put up with their hostility if they get mad at you for asking. Good luck getting home for the holidays, most of us are using greyhound these days..
