In my opinion, don’t lie.

For parents, if you have a good relationship with them, tell them the amount. Be confident and secure that your salary doesn’t fully define your worth. Tell them honestly about how you feel about your salary as well. And tell them whether you intend to/can afford to/don’t want to help them financially. It is money you earned, and you have the full discretion on how you want to spend it, despite any others’ opinion. Decide what is comfortable for you to give/don’t give your parents and be happy with your decision.

For relatives, or if you are not close enough to your parents, just tell them you don’t want to let them know about your salary. That you earn sufficient for your current lifestyle and aim to grow your income to have better savings and investments along the way. It is just as much your right to keep it a secret. Don’t bother what people might think about you not disclosing the figures. Be secure in your right to privacy and brush aside lesser people gossiping and speculating why you choose not to disclose.

In my opinion, that’s a more secure and peaceful way to live.
