I wouldn’t talk about what you make etc at work. There is always someone who makes more / less . I think you are doing good for your age and circumstances. Find a goal and work towards it.

Wrong. This is why people are underpaid; talk about salary with the people you work with (that you trust), your manager, and your friends.

People that underpaid are either taken advantage of or don’t have talent. If people can bark up the tree to ask for more money, they need to be able to handle the truth on why they’re not making more money.

I was raised to never talk about how much I have or how much I make with anyone, especially in these times with inflation. People can and will fuck you over, especially if you make a lot.

But I digress. Just thought I would throw that out there.

Not talking about it openly just helps employers keep peoples wages down.
