My take is:

Someone I'm Toasting? No
My partner? No
Family? No
Brother? No
A friend that is credit worthy? No
A friend that is more established? No

grin grin grin grin grin
Abeg I don't have strength

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

It is nobody's business to know how much your salary is.

That is personal or it is something that is supposed to be between husband and wife.....not outsiders, friends or other family members.

If anyone ask us that, we will try to be polite by saying 'Sorry, it is personal, we don't wish to share' and if they insist then we will change it for them and shout 'WTF, is wrong with you, dem send u come?!'

Well said smiley

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?


Depends on who’s asking and the reason

Not everything you disclose even to family or friends. ...when they see or hear about what you earn or receive as salary, their goes your wahala.....every now and then, they will start asking you for one favour or the other and when you decline narrating your own tight budgets and programme, they will tagged you wicked uncle, wicked brother or stingy person....it's best you stay cool and make they just knw say you dey hussle or work..finish!

This is my dilemma now.

I work and earn just below 100k. Rented and lavishly furnished a room self con.

Parents have never been here,I keep dodging their first visit. They are already on my neck, that they wanna come know my place. I fear that if they see all I've bought, their expectations in terms of money will triple.

And they don't know how much I earn

You didn't demand them to tell you so they shouldn't cajole you to reveal it.

If you know what they earn, reduce it by some percentage and tell them. It will make them feel better about themselves and they will leave you alone. Most importantly, it will make you know exactly how they feel about you.
