What were your gross yearly wages (2017)?

In my case there’s also that it doesn’t translate well if we go by bank exchange; if I give the figure I need to follow up with an Intro to Cost of Living-based Conversion Rates.

In fact, my wages were zero. Tips, zero. Commission, zero. Investments, zero. My income doesn’t take any of those forms (it’s base rate of invoices, minus deductible business-related expenses).

If anyone answers this, I think it’s high time for a “Name everyone you ever slept with” thread.

Who stole your thunder?
mmm

I don’t like it because it’s an elitists question. On MBs such as these, you’ve got fast food workers socializing with university professors, country folk hanging with city slickers etc… That’s something that doesn’t typically happen in real life. And it’s a beautiful thing.

Why break out the dividing lines?

We share our sins and quirks because it’s something we all have in common regardless of what tax bracket we fall under.

I’m not hating on the OP. I just think it’s a tacky question.

Bigger than a bread basket.

2,450 Imperial Credits per annum.

Zero. I was unemployed by choice for the last two years. I called it early retirement but it got boring. I just started a part time job so for 2018 my wages will be greater than zero.

How does that exchange to gold-pressed latinum?

I get free bagels on Wednesdays…

Sucks when you get a pay cut don’t it?

Mine was 50000000 give or take a zero or two.

$146,400.

Meh.

I may not be one of those who shares too much of a personal nature here, but sharing certain things does serve some beneficial function either to the person sharing, to someone with whom it is being shared, or both. Support, normalizing, reality checking, reducing ignorance … so on. Even what car you drive may be serving the function of a real conversation.

What beneficial function does sharing this information serve?

Maybe a question of how satisfied or secure you feel with your income would be of some actual interest, and some might share how much the number is in service of that discussion. My guess would be that satisfaction and security are relatively inelastic items over a moderate term other than at the very low end. But how big is yours? No purpose served and possible harms to be had.

Yup, just more Social Engineering. The thread probably should have been closed right away.

And you get paid to do that? :cool:

Somewhere between 6 and 140 bitcoins.

In psychic benefits anyway. Holding someone else’s is where the real money is.

Republic credits will do fine.

Me too. I’ve declared bankruptcy at least four times, but I still manage to end up being a billionaire. They’re willing to pay me $400,000 per annum now, but I told them to keep it, or else I’d have to release me tax returns (which are still being audited). Those audits can take years.

You know what? Congratulations. :cool: I remember hitting that milestone, and feeling proud of myself but also somewhat unable to believe it.

I kind of want to answer this but can’t figure out if I’d be bragging about my high income or whining about my low income.
