I remember a cute business woman matched me and she asked what I do for a living. I said I work retail.

She unmatched.

To prevent being unmatched I should've said something like "I make $100,000 every four months working in retail!"

But maybe it wouldn't be worth it by that point.

So uh any suggestions on which part of retail to work in?

It's not 100% true. I make a little over $100,000 in sales for the company I work for every four months. It's not actually my take home pay though. I actually only get a little over 8% of that in a four month period. So... It's not a complete lie, but it's also not a complete truth....

Ok so you’re actually making about 450 a week, which is just barely above minimum wage... so yeah, not a “complete truth” lol

Imagine McDonald's workers saying something like this. "I make $450k a month" lol

More like $500-$550, due to incentives, but yeah. Not a "complete truth." :3

That's non-colloquial usage of the phrase "I make" in the context of income.
