Does it get awkward about income?

No — questions focus on purchases and habits, not how much anyone earns. Nobody has to disclose numbers.

Mostly yes. Skip a couple of "biggest debt regret" questions if you are using this with colleagues.

Will it depress people?

Surprisingly no — the regret stories tend to be funny rather than sad. Bad-purchase confessions are universal.

Money & Shopping

Have you ever returned an item of clothing after you've already worn it?

Why people ask this

This question works because the yes-or-no split always surprises the room — someone answers in a way nobody expected, and the conversation starts from there. Money is the topic everyone pretends not to care about and then answers fastest — questions like this make the regrettable purchases come out. The yes-or-no format is what makes it work — nobody has to volunteer a story, but once someone says yes the room always wants to hear it. That is why this question comes up again even in groups that have played before: the answer changes, the story changes, and the same question lands differently every time someone new is in the room.
