Let's say a co-worker wanted to know how much you get paid. Disrespectful or no?

Sharing salaries with co workers is a good idea, its management who discourages it.

It shouldn't be, at least among co-workers, but it is. Since knowing what your contemporaries are making is good for everyone (but your employer).

Among non-co-workers, it absolutely is. There really isn't reason to know.

Being in a profession where I can actively look up exactly how much someone makes in a year....

no.

It crosses into disrespectful if you ask, they tell you, then you're like "Well why can't you afford X?" or if you start asking them what they spend their money on

Why not?

I understand management not wanting you to share it, or if you make an obscene amount of money (comparatively) then you might not want to open yourself up as a target, but realistically why should we not share it?

Maybe it's just because I've never worked a civilian job where I didn't/couldn't know what my co-workers were making and I'm just missing a socially understood situation, but I don't get why it shouldn't be shared.
