Honest question: discussing finance with most people can be a little awkward ("Man he earns so much more than I do, I feel so ashamed of myself"), so is it a good idea to display actual dollar values?

Also, I love aspen.

Re: Aspen ... thank you. :-)

I'm told in Finland everyone's income is public.

Surely opinions differ on whether that's good or bad. If you think it's bad then Gittip is probably not for you. :-)

I know, I know, but I'm assuming that most gittip users are American; if an acquaintance asked you (I'm guessing you're American) "How much money do you earn?", wouldn't you feel uncomfortable?
