New Joiner, Asked About Comp by Me, What Should I Have Said?

We recently had a new hire at the firm and I asked him how much he got offered? He gave me the numbers. When he asked me, I was super vague and didn't tell him how much I make. 

I was trying to make competition at the place so I tried creating necessary tension by refusing to answer but it left me somewhat pleased that he shared his own numbers.
