I hate all and every money based questions. Like “Whut wuld u do if $XXXX appeared in your bank account tomorrow?” or “BAM, You’re a millionaire, what would you do with the money?” or “If you had $XXXX, how much would that change your life?”
Like, come on, unless I’m given a large sum - then I won’t answer. It just gets tiring seeing the same old answers of people saying they’d do good wonders to fluff their humbleness or there’s people who’d buy a million rubber balls if given the chance or anything.
Where I live this phrase is really know to be awful so most people do this “how long have you been living in x?” —> “where did you live before that?”. And if both are in the USA that usually stops the asker from asking anymore unless the askee offers up the info themselves.
Another way is to straight up ask “I notice you have a cool/cute accent, where is that from?” and that’s just much nicer
