like I want to get in the communication field......and if i met someone in the position i want, i would ask how much they make...because i would hate to waste all those years and find out later they only make less than 30K.........but yeah it still is personal question
going into a profession for money is a bad idea.

another example: I made about double what my ex-boyfriend made. i knew this, but he didn't. i was filling out my lease application and he was there. it asked for monthly income before taxes. i cut my eye over, and he is all up on my paper, so i skip the question and went back and filled it in last. after i fill it in, i nonchalantly cover it up with my hands, like folding my hands over the paper like i'm chillin. i got to talking to the landlord lady and accidentally moved my hands and he saw my answer.
from that day forward. our relationship went downhill. it's like he couldn't handle it or something. he stopped doing things for me and started freeloading just because he felt like i could afford it. and not doing things for me in the sense of buying me gifts or anything, i'm talking about stuff like he would go get food and not even ask if i wanted anything or offer me any.
Obviously the dude is kind of selfish.. I will say that for me as a male, it is a low feeling to date a girl that makes a lot more money that I do as far as annual income. I guess it is a ego thing some of us males have because it just makes me feel super low if my girl makes 80 plus grand a year and I just work at stepping stone job.. That's just me..

Good question, but I assume when you are married???Originally Posted by RawSheed
hiding how much you earn in a relationship seems like a recipe for disaster too though imo. when is it okay to tell?

This is why only managers, the finance team, and HR should know about people's salary.Originally Posted by CrusaderRB32
Dude's mom I know was asked how much she made by a fellow employee. She told her, which caused a big issue because apparently the "asker" was making much less than the number she said. Caused big issues within the business. Moral of the story, keep your finances to yourself FTW.
