Poll of the Day > How much money you make

(+) Yeah! (+)

I say more money than you've ever seen in your lifetime in a sarcastic way and that ended the conversation.

I start singing the chorus to Don't Ask Me No Questions by Skynyrd

---

only a little money

but money

---

Only my parents know cause my contracts and pay rise letters still get delivered to their house so I just ask them to open and send me pix

Otherwise with most people I just skirt around the question or give a stupidly large ballpark

a stupidly large ballpark

Like more than $1, but less than $1 million
---

Who's asking?

---

i ask "you first"

---

I tell the truth.

---

Enough to support stuff.

---

More than I need at 80-84th percentile US household income depending how you calculate it

People who earn more or less are no more or less worthy of respect as a human and treating people worse because of their income is disgusting behavior

---

"I make the medium bucks"

"My bills get paid"

---

Not enough for working outside all day. But it's rude to ask. I "know" a fellow co-worker who often boasts making more at a second job and they are gunning for a manager spot there. Like okay bye bye. It's either who you know or who you blow. For me none of those options applied where I am.

---

I work in a unionized environment so its easy enough to find out what anyones making. If someone asks Ill tell them.

"Oh, not enough. How about you?"

---

If it's a stranger/co-worker I won't go much into detail, maybe just that "It's okay".

I haven't been asked such a thing directly, though.

---

I tell them to Google it. My salary is publicly posted.

---

"I'm solidly middle class." I just leave it at that.

Though, w/ the 50% increase in house prices, I now am having trouble finding a house so maybe that's not even a good answer anymore.

I tell them because the "it's rude to ask" thing was something invented and spread by corporations to keep wages low. It's really stupid that Americans still think it's rude to talk about wages.
---

I tell them. I'm a open book and see no point in avoiding a simple question. With that said I haven't got asked this all that much nor have I actually asked others. The closest I've got to asking is when someone says a certain company they work for is hiring and then I'd ask if the pay is good. Normally the other person elaborates on their own wage. In general I don't care about other people finances or how much money they have or make. When I hear others bragging about it it's very obnoxious.
