because they need to feel better

Yes it is perfectly ok.  People who don't ask and people who don't demand to be paid what they are worth are always the ones at the bottom of the pay scale.  You know the people, they are the ones that are shocked when they found out what everyone else is making.

You are the evil one for thinking this way! Not to mention ignorant; these people are just trying to make a living. A form of living you by no means would want to inquire. People have died in the fields. They work 16 hrs a day on temperatures above 90 degrees fahrenheit,just to bring you some fresh produce, and you try to deny them an over earned wage. You should be thinking on how we can get them to make more money. Not deprive them of a wage!

Yahoo wants to know everything about you but dosent really want you to know who they are....lots of luck. I guess they are afraid you will sell their info for a profit lol.

It is fairly simple. But, most people don't understand it because society has taught them you need to get a good education and work really hard. While this may get you a good job, you will be restricted to only making as much money as your salary will allow. \n\n  IT'S ALL ABOUT CREATING CASH STREAMS. You need to be your own boss. And make your MONEY work for you. Whether it be in stocks, real estate, owning your own business, selling information, etc. Focus on things, that once started, will bring you cash over and over with little to no work on your part.

There's nothing wrong with it. Let them think what they want. When you're in your twenties and way more advanced/educated than they are and making more money see who will be calling you wierd then.

Hey pardner, didn't they tell you that it is BAD MANNERS to ask about a man's income, or girl's age ?\n...In today's society, even the vice-versa of the same would apply !\nBing - go !

I think you do need a privacy policy. A simple sentence like you suggest isn't enough. You're asking for very, very sensitive information and most people are savvy enough to know that you could be misusing it.

I don't let people know the "real" me very often. I let them know hints of it, but I really don't think that anyone would like to know very much about my itty bitty life. If asked I will be completely truthful, but it isn't always easy to offer up information.

I hear ya. It gets annoying to me too. Sadly, I think people have forgotten this basic rule of life in a lot of cases. I always lived by the rule that I cannot change others, only hope they see my actions and respond accordingly. Getting harder these days though. Seems it's all about the size of your bank account and makes no difference how it got that way. People put more emphasis on the price of the home rather than the decency of the people who live in it.\n\nFor your sanity, just try to remember that doing a good thing is it's own reward and at the end of your day, you have only your actions to answer for.

Not sure but it is questionable cause people get paid to do that.

They pay you for legal advice and it is your job to fully inform them.  You should not withhold information with the hope of making more money later.

Stay out of their bussiness, it's not your place to say anything, If he or she wants people to know they'll say it on their own, they deserve their privacy

Turning it into a joke usually works the best for me. For instance if someone asks how much is your rent, you can reply with "Too much! Way too much, in fact i think i'll stop paying it soon and live in a cardboard box", or if someone asks how much you make, i've used "not enough, i'm really not sure i'll be able to pay off my private jet any time soon". Something along those lines usually lets the person know that you are not willing to give out specifics, yet at the same time it's not rude or hurtful to them.

Honestly, it is trial and error. Take something that you're knowledgeable about and wait for a bargain. For example, lets say you know a lot about car parts and one weekend you stumble across a shop having a clearance sale - $200 radios for $30 bucks (or whatever). Take it home and list it for $75. Your customer thinks they saved $125 bucks and you made $45. Now multiply it by 100 sales and you are in business. I do about $2K a month in sales and I profit about $500 and that’s from just working part time. It's not "easy money", you do have to work at it, but if you're willing to invest the time and effort, you can do it.

just do the job you are paid to do.does someone have to be watching you every minute?\nand we wonder why the companies are going elsewhere where people give 70 cents work for 70 cents pay.i wonder if they make special effort to cheat their boss? probably not.
