Should You Keep Your Salary a Secret?

Revealing your salary can have unexpected consequences - both good and bad. Some people believe in full transparency, while others prefer to keep it private.

  1. Should you tell your parents how much you earn?
  2. Is it necessary to disclose your income to your boyfriend/girlfriend?
  3. What happens when your friends know what you earn?

Share your salary with everyone but always tell them a lesser amount than actual (say 4-5 lakhs), this way you can save on that much money for times of crisis otherwise everyone will get too relaxed and dependent on you after calculating your approx in-hand. Trust me this has helped me a lot personally.

Nope. Never a secret. Always talk to coworkers you trust. You only get more info

Can tell your parents too if you’re close to them. To BF/GF no until you reach a bunch of comfort with them
