question that stumps me:

'how much do you make?'

I'm still not really sure how to handle this one.
obv its rather general already, but it's not like i would go:

me: what do u do?
him: i'm a lawyer
me: how much do u make?


people seem a lot more at ease asking me my annual income, i guess because it doesnt really sound like a real way of making a living.

ask them how much they make? hopefully that will make them realize it's a rude question.

then if they actually tell you their income just lie about yours
