Need advice from my CF girls
My female boss constantly asks me how much I paid for things. I'm not usually bothered by this since we're true bargain hunters at heart. But I worry that now that we are considering buying a home, how do I handle this answer without being rude? I am 100% positive she is going to ask me this and I don't really feel comfortable answering...

I would say "Enough that I don't want to think about it, let alone answer that question. Hahahahahaha."

Re: Need advice from my CF girls
Don't tell. Either tell her straight out that you don't feel comfortable about sharing that, or be flip enough to answer "enough that I need a raise".
That's a pretty personal disclosure.
I dislike people who constantly have to ask what things cost. It's as if they either have to one-up you or it is to satisfy their superiority complexes.

I would go with the "enough" response. Thats what I used when people had the ballz to ask how much we payed pp for our wedding.

Re: Need advice from my CF girls
I agree, the "we paid plenty!" type of response. Be vague and hopefully she won't pressure you for an exact answer!

Re: Need advice from my CF girls
Whenever someone asks me what something cost, I say "five dollars." After they aske me two or three times, trust me, they stop asking because they clearly know your purse or your car did not cost five dollars!
