It's general internet caution, not giving away stuff that might be used to my disadvantage. As an example, birthday is one thing often used for identity theft and is seen on quite a few LJ profile pages. Income may be used by someone to decide that a person 'must' have possessions worth stealing. Some things may appear later on a search engine when one would rather they didn't.
It's not paranoia if they really are out to get you.
