I used to be open and honest, if someone wanted to know, I'd tell em. Now, if they're persistent, I'd just give 'em a range. I noticed that while they seem not to judge my income (which is much, much higher than theirs, usually) or me, that in future conversations it will get brought up. I will get served this "you think you're holier than us" kinda attitude on a silver platter, and I just got tired of hearing it. Or the ever popular "You don't know what it's like for us" when we all grew up together, with the same backgrounds, and I just happened to make a couple different choices later in my life. So I just let it go now. There's no reason to discuss figures. <em><strong>Mike's last blog post..<a href='http://frommike.com/open-for-improvement/' rel="nofollow">Open for improvement</a></strong></em> I’ve learned to just keep my mouth shut about any kind of figures.
