It's just money. I'd dumb a guy in the blink of an eye if he got all snooty with me about how much he makes. So I would just not mention it unless someone asks. And just say it pays the bills. You don't have to give anyone a dollar amount.

Hell no don't hide it! Flaunt it! If asked how much your make, exagerate!
And make sure you have some gold/platinum colored credit cards to wave around.
And buy them poor girls some sammiches, and make sure and keep your pockets full of candy to throw at the peasant children, that impresses the ladies
But make sure to have plenty of protection, because the under privelaged womenz will all want to have your babies, plus you don't want any of those low income STDS

Two main types of people who are replying to this thread.
1. Those who bash the OP for bragging about what he makes, his conduct, etc
2. Those who bash the OP because they dont think what he makes is anything to brag about.
This post is to the people who fit into group 2.
IT DOESN'T MATTER WHAT YOU or YOUR FRIENDS or YOUR PARENTS or ANYONE ELSE MAKES. This is about what he makes IN RELATION to what others in the area makes.
That is the important part of the equation here. In areas where the average income is lower, everything costs less.. Walmart items, grocery store items, even nice items just cost less.
So its very possible (and highly likely), that this guy who has money to spend on the things he wants is buying things that would cost a lot more where many of us live.
So don't go around telling him he doesn't make squat, has a lower income than your friends in college, etc, because it doesn't matter. I'm sure there are parts of the world where what you and I make is also laughed at as being bottom of the barrel which is probably why we don't live there. In relation to what most others make in this area, he would be considered wealthy, and that is what he wants to hide from the gold diggers of the community while still living comfortably.
Edward Clark once said "The best way to realize the pleasure of feeling rich is to live in a smaller house than your means would entitle you to have." In this poster's case, he just lives in a town with a smaller income than his.

You are missing a few digits there.
Keep in mind 99.9999999% of all NY real estate listings are outright lies, because if they listed what is really available, noone would bother to look.
The REAL rates are around $20/sq. ft./month.
I make 33k, junior in college, have a 3 year old car, 46" DLP, custom rig, and new laptop, and all new furniture, and ZERO debt.

I think you're looking to flaunt your e-penis, until you realized you couldn't do so with a bunch of much wealthier members responding. Who even considers that? You're middle class, and the rest of your town seems it would be for the most part if it's families.

Stunt you have given me pretty good advice in my other threads so I will say nothing right now
I know this thread sounds bad...but it's a legitimate concern when you are in a community full of people who are more than willing to find a guy they can live off. Also if they know you can pay child support, they will do what they can to get that out of you.
Not saying all the women are like this, but it's there.
What? Do you live in a cage? If you're in some small town what does it take to go meet people in a city fifteen minutes to a half an hour away?
Not sure if you are being sarcastic, but yes, that is close to the truth, at least for a walk-in closet.
My fiance's apartment does not actually have any closets, so she pays a separate rent on a storage closet in the hallway outside the apartment. Not $2000/month because it is only around 3 feet by 2 feet, but still over $100/month for 6 square feet.
just bum around in jeans, boots, and t-shirts.
Nobody will assume you're making bank if there aren't any immediate visual cues.
