Should you always share your pay with other workers?

I know a lot of people here encourage people to speak about pay with their coworkers, as keeping it secret only helps the boss. There are a few issues with this: There is no reason to think your coworkers won't resent them for making more money. Your coworkers may start asking you for money if they know you make more. They can use it against you. In general, I try to hide as much of my personal life as possible from my coworkers. Sharing information can put one in a vulnerable position.
