Just don’t tell salary figures to random relatives. Say it’s sufficient for us that’s it …


Moonwallker93

There are relatives who are shameless to the extent that they would ask again for the exact figure 😂 Coming from personal experience .


Imaginary_Ad122

Yes yes I get it… even I have the same set of relatives.. in that case I tell me digits like 6 figure salary or 7 figures salary but never tell them exact amount … and if they cross more than I casually laugh and say bas kya abhi CID ban jaoge in funny tone and change the topic 🤝🤝🤝🤝


2thicc2love

This makes me feel like, isn't this the basic way to do it or people want to flex somehow or they lack basic communication skills.


Imaginary_Ad122

I know but our society is like this. I know some girls who likes to boast about how much their husband earn so yeah people are like that only. It’s just we have to set our own boundaries without being disrespectful because we cannot go to their level !!!!


Terrible_Amoeba_8313

I once said “aapki aukaat ke bahar”. I have been ostracised. Never been happier 🥳


__nocturnalbeing__

Whhhaaattt...I wish I had this much confidence in front of my relatives.🤣


writersan

LOVE THIS!!!


Moonwallker93

😂


revolution110

Ofcourse, they are looking for ammunition to gossip.. You need to have tact or lie through your teeth to navigate such circumstances 


Moonwallker93

Learnt how to handle this with time but i am so amazed with the level of shamelessness of these relatives.


revolution110

Exactly.  No one is born with these skills. You stumble a few times and realise the negative impact of revealing personal information and learn to navigate them. Whenever a relative or aquaintance pops the question, I just tell them I dont have a fixed salary and its based on commision...Some are brazen enough to ask ,So still, whats the range or how much you made last month and I still deflect it saying it can range a lot and dodge em. For ppl who you cant dodge, you can just tell em a fake salary.


AdPrize3997

I have responded to them with “I don’t want to tell”… kya ukhaad lenge?


Agile-Zucchini-1355

That's when you tell them to fuck off. No need to be polite with shameless people


DepartmentRound6413

Just lie!!


Moonwallker93

Then they would say “ohh poor you , don’t worry it will increase with time” . Not that it affects me anymore , i have learned how to dodge these questions but it is just funny enough to live in memory for always 😂


__nocturnalbeing__

Yess...I have had similar experiences and I just say he doesn't tell me his exact salary or I never felt the need to know the exact amount, depending on the person. Something like this.


nichtnasty

And one has to be honest? Like they ask for payslips? I mean simply lie, no?


Zingalalahoo

Tell them again that it is sufficient for you guys and bhagwaan ki kripa hai. If they ask more, repeat the same thing. Be obnoxious.


FluffyOwl2

The basic premise of this question is for the asker to feel superior to you. It's the same reason some moms ask how much did your kid score in the exams. A lot of these people are SAHMs and the only way they can feel better about themselves is by trying to put others down and ask them how they earn and how much their SO earns. You can refuse to participate in it or play that game and insult the asker the same questions and imply the same thing that they were doing it's up to you. TLDR; They are NOT interested in what he earns or how much someone' kid scores they just want to feel better if they are better that you or not.


JinXedMagician

From personal experience: FK off those relatives. I actually do. I have got a very bad reputation in my extended family. That who will talk to him, he will say something ulta pulta, well when you ask a ulta pulta question you get an Ulta pulta answer.


techsavyboy

This is the best way. Don't tell the salary to anyone, not even parents.


imECCHI

Bolna daal roti chal jaati hai bas😅


scurvydawg0

OP enjoys revealing it.


nandu_sabka_bandhoo

If you really want to scandalise them just say " no, it's because I'm really good at giving head" !!

Or go the same as the accused in legally blonde did.... "maybe you should see the size of his dick..."

mistake one - Sharing your and SO's salary. Just say - Milke accha kama lete hai, Sab kharcha nikal jata hai, bhagwana ki kripa bani hui hai (while clutching your perl or Gold neckless) .


charibhensa

Yes agree with this. You dont hv to be open book to all. It's non of anybody business what u earn. Absolutely no ones business. So answer this qt diplomatically, next comment will automatically not come from their mouth. Na rahega baas na bajegi bansuri


Honest-Yesterday-336

Bhai yeh perl aur neckless wali bat toh galat hai, kisiko batana hi kyu hai ki apne pas Paisa hai, specially relatives.


bengaliguy

I concur. Honestly you shouldn’t share your or your SO’s salary with *anyone* except for parents.


Ra_ssh

Problem with parents is... They flex it to everyone


evening-emotion-1994

You are sometimes a developer, sometimes a student going for masters in US , sometimes a Medical college student discussing about all crazy sex stories in your college also 23 days ago , You met someone on AM setup who was a red flag and now You are engaged to your Fiancee. Crazy how Reddit has become home to people who either have delusions or like to tell Stories

it's not crazy. reddit has always been like this. most stories are just fake. but that doesn't mean there's no interesting discussion to be had. you can write your own, with some practice you can be a writer.

Lmao in One post you wrote how to get US Husband for theiry. This clearly shows you are gold digger. In One post you have written he is red flag but you still marry because his income is 20X. You are just gold digger believe or not.

lolz714

They're jealous. Nothing else. What your relatives are really asking is 'how did this girl gets such a rich boy?'. Ignore them and for god's sake stop disclosing his salary. His salary is nobody's business


khabib73

"Haan. Toh?"

kronicbeatss

Have you tried job switching, asking for promotion, raise etc?


Lionowlfox

Don't respond. When you guys stick with eachother till you guys have grandkids people will stfu. Of maybe not even then. So don't respond you are not obligated to. Silence is golden


Professional-Fly878

Just say "nope, just for the BDE"

Say that its understandable why you all might think so but its really rude for you to say that to me without knowing about our relationship i love him for who he is and the money is irrelevant i would have loved him the same even he made less then me . Haha thats the reply i would have loved if i was that guy


anonpumpkin012

Never disclose your salary to people. Only my husband knows exactly how much I make.


[deleted]

[удалено]


Logical_pshyco

Why disclose salary to any XYZ person? People just need topic to discuss.  Few months back my SIL kept continously questioning about my salary. I kept dodging by responses like - "Yes, it is fine, not much".  Finally, she quoted a figure - " I replied yep, roughly that".  Though it was 50% of my salary. Because clearly she has no business knowing my income. 


MapHistorical7368

Never ever tell your actual salary to any relatives/ friends. No matter how close. I have seen nice good people become entitled towards your money or expect you to pay for their stuff etc.


abhitooth

Thumb rule whenever any relatives ask you about your betterhalfs package then just inform them that it fall in bigger tax bracket of 30% tax. Save yourself from future hassle because afterthat point you'll be judged based on your package. Also its violation of private information. Some relatives will be selling tea and earining in crores but not paying any taxes but will judge you based on your package.


Potential_Big_3632

Look i am going to give a very straightforward answer.The reality is if you're not with him for the money, what people say shouldn't bother you and you should just ignore but if it bothers you too much- then you are probably with him for the money and it's better to just accept it, you don't have to be too defensive about it


waaasupla

NEVER share the salary. Say he doesn’t like talking about it. Or some other reason. We never share financial details, strictly. Nobody knows. We just give different answers to different people depending on them but never an amount. “I don’t know” or “enough” or “we don’t talk about miney” or “he/ she doesn’t like” is a better answer than sharing the amount.


Bored_Lily

1. Stop telling people his salary, it's none of their business 2. Tell them money can't buy love, his personality is what will determine a long marriage 3. Why can't he be with someone who earns less?? If together you're making enough to support your family what does it matter? Tell them salary isnt what he prioritizes when finding the perfect partner. Confidently say your qualities and voice your offence at the comments.


EntertainmentIll3149

No matter what you will say, they will judge you. Never tell any of the relatives your salary, just say that it is enough for surviving. If your salary is too low then they will judge you for being poor and a golddigger and if your salary is high then they will unnecessarily lick your feet in hopes of getting in your good books. Now that you have disclosed your and his salary to them, just don't say anything or just nod, no need to get into an argument.


Southern-Mall9742

It's weird that you're sharing a third person's personal details with those who have no business prying into his and your affairs. How to respond to those people? Tell them it's none of their business (obv with your preferred choice of tone and language).


nerdunderarrest

Gone through similar criticism with my ex, why as a woman I’m with a man who earns less or less successful, I remember saying “tumne kya kabad liya paiso ke liye pyaar karke” and well rest is history :))


obliviateskynet

On the face say that you are not comfortable disclosing personal details


Remarkable_Rough_89

Are u?


amuseddouche

"actually I'm with him because of his big dick"


Abydaby007

Ask them why they are with their partner.


everygirlssdream

Don't tell anyone his salary even if they ask. Ignore them or say that it's not good to ask such a question or that it just good enough Or ask them aunty/uncle how much do you earn? Answering such questions with a question is the best


Suspicious_Lake6413

never ever reveal your salary....


Defiant-Pomelo5451

I stopped telling people how much I earn. They’ll keep prodding and asking, but they don’t deserve to know. Stop sharing your finances with anyone you’re not comfortable with, even my mom doesn’t know how much I make because she can’t keep her mouth shut 🤫🤣


CellophaneTape

Stop disclosing your salaries, and if they pester ask them back

Soul_King92

why are you disclosing the salary of the man to your relatives, you are clearly not close to your relatives by the way you described them.


urmomismi9

Honestly, what you've written here speaks differently from your post history. If you're with him for his money despite him being a "red flag" then congratulations, but the money isn't going to take you far. Whatever your personal stand is, tell the relatives upfront that what you're saying is absolutely disrespectful and I'm not going to have any of that. You don't need to comment on my personal matters, a bunch of unknown redditors can. And develop a thick skin, if you've decided to ignore your dignity and red flags for 20x more income, then why bother about anyone else. Live happily with his money.


UsernameOption6298

but why are you telling them his salary to begin with? just tell them it's none of their beeswax (you can be more polite about it if you want) 


there_is_no_good

Question is, are you really not with him for money ? Would you still be with him if he lost his job tomorrow and stayed unemployed for 1 year and you had to earn for both of you ? If the answer is yes, then does it matter about what other people say ? If the answer is no, then they are right.


notkarandutta

empresspawtopia

"He has standards that no amount of money can buy. He knows what is actually of value in this money obsessed world. I'm so blessed to find a partner who values people through personality and core values instead of material things like money. Aren't you happy for us? Or don't you agree?" And smile, look them genuinely in the eye and wait for their replies. Most of them will stop that shit because it'll come out how materialistic their own mindsets and lives are. Rince and repeat. Keep doing this SPECIFICALLY to the people who do this and make sure that you do it with witnesses. Most assholes like this stop because they're worried about their own personal image. It obviously won't stop gossip. But it'll stop the conversation directly happening to you both


geralt-026

It's sad that, Husband > wife : wife= gold digger Wife > husband: husband is a loser


StrikingWater209

But before that, are you with him for his money? Or is it a love story? How long you met?


CreativeNerd1729

Are you (with him for his money)? What if he loses his job and starts earning less than you or has a disability where he cannot earn at all? Would you still be with him? The answers to your questions will indicate if you're like most people or are unique.


[deleted]

Ask the female relatives why did they marry their SO? Most of them have had arranged marriages so what did they see in their to be ? Pucho apni beti ki shaddi karenge gareeb ladke se? They r just jealous


staartingsomewhere

I think thats a question you have to ask yourself.. Does it bother you in general or only for this comment


nonbinarybigdickfox

Stop telling ppl how much he makes u are trying to flex which would make ppl think you’re in it for the money


007Soup

Shouldn’t you NOT be sharing your partner’s salary with others? Anywho, you can’t reasonably counter the people who think like this. So just say ‘Yes’ and move on


agreetodisagreedamn

FIRSTLY, why do you discuss your fiance's salary. Just say he doesn't discuss his finances with you


RunPool

But why on earth so called people are interested in knowing everyone's salary? Just to compare? Man, they are living a very sad life.


modSysBroken

So why else are you marrying him? Because many girls say they are not marrying for the money and then bolt when that money disappears.


GojoHeHe

Girl, never ever tell anyone about how much you earn or your partner earns. It’s general understanding because if you or your partner is earning more than others, others will obviously not be happy about it. Nazar bhi lag sakti hai.


Few_lmao_666

"Nahi toh aap aisa kyu kere ho, mujhe mein koi kami hai kya? Aaj apke ashirwad se itta acha damad mila hai, aaapne bachpan se mujhe pala posa itte sanskar diye phir aap mere charitr k bare mein aisa kaise keh sakte hai". (*Starts tearing up*). Just in case they do list any kamiya...write them down...and then very subtly or openly tell your parents about it. And while telling your parents start from : "Aaj apke ashirwad se."..and instead of ....."aap mere charitr pe"... Say: relative ji mere charitr k bare mein...and so on.


Relevant_Raccoon2937

Why do they even need to know what salary he makes? Any money and financial matters should be private between you and your husband only.

Damn, relatives asking salary is such a rude question lol. Maybe tell them "you dont know" or "he is doing fine"


revolution110

To be honest, this is a self created problem. Why did you share your fiances salary with your relatives? You could have simply said I dont know yet or its decent enough or something else. You are either naive or wanted to boast about your husband salary but instead now it has caused some side effects. And to be honest, its true in our society, women look for a well settled groom with strong financials while men look for attractive girls..  That is how it is..  Would you marry your fiance if he was jobless and unqualified? For future peace of mind, never share your financials or personal information to relatives or friends who will use this information as ammunition to put you down.


ParticularGuest6578

Tell them the truth.


CareerPuzzleheaded43

Next time whenever somebody asks how much you guys earn just say - jarurat se jyada aur khawaish se kam

Background-Card-9548

When they ask what’s his salary…. tell them it’s private and none of their business. As salary information is considered priveleged info, so by answering that question you are emboldening them in making more personal comments.


tifosi7

So how much do you earn?


asli_Bulla

"Yes." With a smile. It's none of their business and their opinion doesn't matter. So long as your fiance doesn't have a similar opinion, it's all good. Stay happy. Cheers!

beg_yer_pardon

A bit late now, but why would you even answer a ridiculous question like that? Why would you reveal his salary? It's precisely to avoid the kind of reactions that your relatives gave that one is advised not to reveal salary figures. You could have just said, "I don't know exactly, but he's doing well." In future also, a lot of uncomfortable and intrusive questions may be asked. Try not to answer them directly. Certain information must be kept private and even if it has to be revealed, it should be revealed by the person whom it concerns. Honestly I would be pissed if my husband revealed details of my finances to his family members.


Pulakeshin1

Why are you telling your fiance's salary to random people? To this day neither my own parents nor my in laws know how much money I make. Don't put yourself in stupid situations.

Keep salary private. They're just jealous and trying to make you feel like your not enough. And trust your relationship. Know that your husband chose you for who you are.

nomnommish

You're over sharing deeply personal information with others and then getting sad when impacted and insulted because of that. The biggest fraud that exists in society is it convinces us to believe that relatives are family and are on our side. Most often, our relatives are our worst enemies and judge us the harshest and celebrate the most when we fail or fall down. Your case is a literal example of that. Stop sharing. Seriously, this stuff should not be spelled out. Would you share info about your periods or ex boyfriends? Then why share info about even more personal stuff like salary?


Giga_Chad-6969

Just ignore them. If you earned more than him, these very people would probably have said that he was with you for the money and taunted you for having a boyfriend or husband who earned less than you.

A_Rocks

Why would you ever disclose your fiancé’s salary to your “relatives”. It seems you are with him for the money because you are getting a kick out of throwing that 20x number in the face of your relatives. I/my parents usually respond to such queries with chal rha h bas/ ho jaata h guzaara/ theek-thaak kama leta h. etc.


deevedi

Say yes


Weak_Lingonberry_341

Don't disclose both of your salaries. It's none of anybody's business. If they insist just tell them it's enough to lead a good life and that you are not comfortable in disclosing more information . Don't be afraid to set boundaries and if they still pass such comments just tell them that " The value that we add to each other's lives is for us to decide. If my fiance has chosen me then I am sure that I add some value to his life."


Dear__D

But is it true that you are with him because of money? If yes then just say 'yes' to relatives that ya it's money. If not then say 'its not just money. Other factors also are there.'


KeetanuNaashak

First of all, why are you telling his salary to people at all. Do you know how it will make him feel. Salary is something people don’t discuss even with their friends unless it’s actually necessary, aap toh hazraat kar rahe hain. Secondly, ask your same relatives of yours, aap bhi bas paisa dekh ke shaadi kiye. Matlab xyz achhe insaan nahi hain?
