Is my friend lying about her monthly income?

Question

she says she works in a night-club in newcastle UK collecting glasses, shes 18, and says she gets £800 a month

is it possible shes lying?

Answer 1

what business is it of yours?

Answer 2

I personally think she's lying!   Unless she's working all hours god sends that is.  

Answer 3

It's possible that she's lying and it's equally possible that she works enough hours to make that, particularly if she's paid cash in hand.

Answer 4

Why are you curious about her earnings ?

Answer 5

Depends how many nights she works there, if she only works like 2 nights per week then yes she's probably lying.  If she works most nights then she could easily earn that much,   I'm doing extra hours in a shop just now because I'm on holiday from uni and I can easily get over £600 for working about 3 days per week

Answer 6

It depends how many hours she works.

Answer 7

It's possible, night-clubs are quite well paid especially if its cash in hand. Higher end clubs people can earn up to £7-8 an hour simply cleaning up and collecting glasses. You wont make a fortune but simply working 6 hours a night will get you a decent wage.

Answer 8

no she isnt lying. why would she lie?

Answer 9

She's pole dancing 4 times a month.

Answer 10

not impossible, if she works full time then yes that seems reasonable.

Answer 11

People usually  mean what they say.....unless they have some kind of motive to lie.     Any possible motives cross your mind?

Answer 12

Maybe she collects glasses in lingerie.  Maybe it is a high-priced restaurant.

I'd start with asking yourself why she might want to lie to you about it.  If you can't find any good reasons, chances are she's telling the truth.

Answer 13

There are 30(ish) days in a month, so if she works 8 hours a day, six days a week, she would be earning about 4 quid an hour before taxes.  

Answer 14

I think she could be telling the truth,

Maybe she does get tips as well.

Don't forget she could be getting cash in hand work and not paying TAX. and £200 a week isn't a great deal

Answer 15

How much is that in american money? She probably is telling the truth if you know the cash conversion. How much do  you make? Don't worry about her, she is in another country,  worry about you.

Answer 16

no way he is lier....

Answer 17

IT DEPENDS ON HOW MANY HOURS SHE WORK AND IF SHE INCLUDES TIPS.

Answer 18

No. She can get that kind of money at her workplace.

Answer 19

yes, of course. She'll be struggling to scrape £5 per hour, and I'd be surprised if she does more than 5 hours per shift, times that by a couple of shifts a week and there we go, half of the amount she claims

Answer 20

I don't know, why should it matter to you? It's her life, worry about your own =/

Answer 21

none of your business one way or the other, now is it?
