Gator Posted February 27, 2023 Posted February 27, 2023 My wife is a teacher at a public school and her salary is just under 28k a month (before taxes and other deductions). She working on her masters degree and just finished the first semester; her salary will get a 7k per month bump. Once she has her degree it’ll go up to about 50k. So, unless as others have stated, she is in management I highly doubt she’s earning 45k a month. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Forum Support Mike J Posted February 28, 2023 Forum Support Posted February 28, 2023 Agree with other posters, the wage claimed seems to be extraordinarily high. I guess the question then becomes, why the exaggeration? Certainly not a good way to begin a relationship. 3 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Most likely she is not working at all and just picked a figure she thought of to answer but then it could be she wanted to impress or was embarrassed to give the right answer. Still why should she tell him, did she ask how much he earns? Since she is online and he likes her he needs to meet and see where she works or what the case is. I think Tom may be right here. No way to know exactly what the facts are. She could be confused or wants to answer in a way her online friend would be pleased? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

That answers my confusion, many search results quoted wages earned per day, maybe that's it. I'm used to European style, all wages are monthly.
