It's not really lying to make the numbers look bigger. It's what everybody does. The guy on the other side of the table will also tell you believable smaller numbers than what he really has in his spreadsheets.

So if everybody lies it is not lies anymore. Interesting.

  Look, if you make $73,327.54/year do you say you make $73,327.54/year or do you say you make $75k/year?

    No, you don't. If you want to stick with the $75k number, then you say "I make just under $75k". If you want to round, you say "I make $73k".
