If online everyone knew how much money you make, would you care?

- it’d be tough to get a credit card. I’m someone who pays them off, and I am responsible. If I could, I would rarely ever use a card. But, I am low income.

Women would not want to date me. How much I make (verses what I have saved is a decent sized difference)... just income alone would ruin any chances.

If clients knew my income, most would probably try to treat me much worse than they already do… like a cruel person who ridicules a beggar on the street - someone who makes someone WORK for that money. Dance, monkey boy! They can do whatever and offer any ridiculous amount because “I’m desperate for the money.” (Which I don’t act that way, and I turn down insulting lowball offers). I most people deem the work as unnecessary. There’s not a lot of respect as it is. Knowing my income would be bad for me. They already think they have all the power because they can take the money away (at least till the payments cashed).

What slight worth I’m perceived as having is the illusion of having some money and not having to take too much crap from others for a pittance. If everyone knew what I made, there would be little chance for personal growth of any kind. No. That too personal.

If everyone's income were public knowledge, I'd have no problem. But there are certain things (like how much a person makes) that makes more sense to keep that information private.

I'm not ashamed of my income. I live on 1/3 of it and put the rest towards savings/investing. I would imagine people would try harder to convince me to buy/do things lol

Yes I would care cause I own a much higher % than what I pretend to own in public.

The reason for this is you never let others know your networth with flashy stuff, while also owning good investments, cash brings negativity & wrong vibes this is reality.

So it's better if my income are concealed to be viewed as a common fellow who's just moving around

In my country, politicians and bureaucrats making more than $100K are put on "The Sunshine List", which is published in the media, with full name, job and pay!

SnowedIn · Answer

I said no because on the one hand it doesn't matter. It is what it is. On the other hand, people judge. And that sucks. And, yeah, easy to say ignore the judgers, but...

WhitneySnow · Answer

I don’t make any money yet but I would not want people to know that about me

Herbologist · Answer

I have decent salary. I wouldn't care tbh. Most people in day to day life know I dont make an above average salary. They also know i am not a bum, I work hard. So to have it shown, wouldn't bother me.

Fireguy17 · Answer

I prefer to keep that to myself. That way I know if someone is interested in me for me, or me because what I have and what might be in it for them.

I really do not want clients or competitors to know how much of a profit margin I have.

DrBanana · Answer

I would cause it’s private info and I do like some privacy.

Tom_Wray_04 · Answer

I would care very much. That is private information that 99.9999 of the world other than places I conduct business with have no need to know.
