I think this is mostly a US thing. Why use yearly salary? You’re not paid once a year, are you? Most likely once a month. Referencing monthly salary makes much more sense.

“I’m making 50k”. Great, now I have to guess - dollars? Monthly? Yearly? If yearly then what’s the monthly paycheck? Net? Gross?

    Ah that makes sense. I see a lot of comments seemingly replying to the wrong comment, I’m on kbin and the comments are pretty clear for me but maybe other instances they are still confusing. Sorry if it seemed like I was coming at you, the incorrect context made your comment seem incredibly hostile for no reason haha. Have a good one man

      All good. Indeed, it seemed far more aggressive than I’d intended and utterly clueless once I read it again from that perspective.
