I don't really have any qualms mentioning my salary to friends if it comes up, though I'm unlikely to bring up the topic myself.
Coworkers is a different story. While I personally don't give much thought to comparative salary, I know too many people who put a ton of stock in it and would get bent out of shape if they were to know that they got a smaller piece of the raise pie because I got a larger one. So I simply don't discuss it at all because I want no part of their drama.
