Lol who would hear "I'm making 50k" and think it's anything other than per year unless they just stepped out of a private jet...
I feel like this might be confusing only if you are under the age of 14 and have no idea how money or the world works...
You don't make 50k per week???
Lol. Agreed. It's not confusing.
People whose currency IS dealt in that scale.
For example, if you want to restrict it to English speakers, then anyone from Hong Kong would be flaunting a quite decent, but not millionaire, salary.
Depends on the currency.
Did you just assume my ¥der?
That was funnier than it should have been
The exchange rate is pretty good right now.
Not in basically all of the English speaking world. USD, CAD, AUS, Pounds, Euros, NZD. 50k a month or week or whatever you for some reason think it might be other than a year would be an insane amount of money to make.
I bet you're the kind of person that hates it when you ask the time and people respond by rounding it to the nearest 10 minutes...
Not really. It's usually obvious from context. Unless you're trying to be an intentionally obtuse pedant?
Thanks, captain Obvious
We're on the Internet, how should anyone know what's "your" currency?
Chill, don't be upset... we're all civil here. I'm talking about a situation where someone shares their salary e.g. here on Lemmy. Then you'd have no clue what's their country and what's the currency they mean. There are plenty of other examples where currency is not obvious if you don't state it clearly, or have enough context to know it from that.
In that context, the person would state the currency since they know that others may not know. If no currency is stated then they just mean USD because only US people think they’re the center of the world.
Foreign to whom?
I know people who make 50k per month and don’t have jets. I make 30k p/m but I’ll get there one day. It’s crazy how when I was broke making $20/hour in a cafe that I thought everyone or most people are broke but now I’m making modest money it’s crazy how many other entrepreneurs are in my circle now. Just wow.
Lol this piss take xD
You have such a wild post history
