Grammar
Use of word income
Does the following usage sound correct?
My incomes are .....
(The context is budget, savings and savings)
I gues income is not generally used in plural form, it should be my income is / my income involves or soemthing like this.
plz comment on this!

Hi Anon, No, that doesn't sound natural. Your income is... and that's the total.
- Hi Anon, No, that doesn't sound natural.
