Or make it half or less. If you earn 100k monthly, tell them you earn 25k, otherwise all the bukata will land at your doorstep
and the day your partner finds out? The way people think sometimes I wonder ....I mean if you perceive your partner is a leech you quit if you don't like leeches. You don't lie...never lie...so ensure u get ursef a good partner.

It's rude for someone to ask unless you need them to help you.

Your spouse definitely should know. Your parents could. Siblings ... those that you have mutual trust and respect for each other. Friends? I really don't think so, it's not necessary unless you are into a partnership that requires the knowledge. All in all, it's not something that people should be throwing around even though people might like to know. Sometimes just hint it so as not to seem offensive in the presence of those who don't recognize boundaries. Avoid the conversation if possible

Depends on who is asking.

My partner? Yes

Family? No

Brother? Yes

A friend that is credit worthy? Yes

A friend that is more established? Yes, make them pity me, give me small from their own grin

People that have history or tendency of borrowing and want to know how much you have left after they have collected N50,000? NOOOOOo


That means you're not worthy of knowing the earnings of your friends who are more credit worthy than you. By the way how will I be more credit worthy than you and then give a fùck about your peanuts since you're selfish to think that only people who earn more than you that deserve to know

I want to teach 10 people here how to make money from writing, web design or any skill you can think of. It is not an quick invest thingy. You have to use your skill. You get hired by foreign clients to do what you love. This is my new years gift and I want just serious people. I am also not collecting anything from you. This is what people charge to teach. Please don't DM me.

If you work in a particular field, a quick Google search tells you what the average pay is, it isn't too hard to figure out how much someone makes.
Of course Nigeria isn't there yet so its a little bit tricky.

It is not a big deal to churn out such information. But I don't see that as anybody's business to ask me if my salary. I won't ask you either. But If u did, maybe I will not consider it but I think it will have to do with your personality.

I grew up in a family of transparency, so to family I don't have a problem with that. Atleast make them pray for me to get bigger.

To girls/females/GF : Hell No!

To my tight buddies: If I find you reasonable to talk with, sure why not. We use it to motivate ourselves and plan on za next move.

To my random guy pals: Hell No!

So it depends on who is asking....

Some of them don't care about that information to make any sensible decision in their lives, they just wanna gossip, measure and size you up, based on your salary.

Hello,

I have had friends complain that i don't tell them how much i earn even if they tell me theirs.

I personally think salary should be private, what's your opinion on this?

Too personal for anybody to know. Except you decide to divulge on your own..

I don't ask people what they earn and I don't feel comfortable being asked such question. But there are some categories of people in your life that will definitely ask.

My close pals...even though it's supposed to be private, we all knew what each other earned cos we were all within the same level in terms of earnings.

But as I attained promotion and my pay check doubled theirs, I just played mute for my own good to avoid becoming the great provider of the group.

My family...I can't try that rough play of telling them the exact figure of my income.

My partner...women have this entitlement mentality, even though I'm not married I don't plan to tell my wife when I eventually get married my exact income. I'll obviously tell her a figure but not the exact figure. This wouldn't stop me from performing my duties and responsibilities as the man for the home, I'll do all that and more. Just that she won't know the exact figures of my income.

My parents...well they know I'm working, the figures of my income isn't necessary.

My siblings...our discussion doesn't reach that level.
