Long story short, I'm living off of an inheritance my father left me, which includes an apartment complex that's fully paid off which I just collect the rent from and manage (I also live in one of the units), a large sum of money that I put into treasury bonds and am living off the interest.

I just don't need or want to work. However, this is harder than it sounds because for some FUCKING REASON one of the first conversation starters that's completely acceptable in this society of ours is "SO WHAT DO YOU DO?" And.....While it may seem simple enough to just tell them my current situation, it's WAAY more complicated than that. For one, it's always just a matter of time before someone asks you for money...without fail IT'S GOING TO HAPPEN. Another problem is everyone always expecting me to go run errands for them or help them move or etc. etc. because "you have all this free time!"

It's a fucking social nightmare is what I'm saying.

So my master plan is to devise a fake job that I can tell people that I do which doesn't involve me having a set schedule, that way I can just tell them that a "client" just called, or a "job" just came up and I won't be able to make it. However, it has to be something that won't entice someone to ask me to help them with something, EXAMPLE: "Oh you work construction, can you help me with my water heater."

I was telling people for a while that I was an Uber driver, but I've run into a few people that ARE uber drivers and they can tell I'm lying...because I have no idea how much uber drivers make, or they'll ask me for rides..

I'm telling you, I've googled this shit. I've asked some of my personal friends that know about my current situation, and nobody can think of a good fake job! Like what THE FUCK do camgirls tell people they do? What do strippers tell people they do?

Please someone HELP ME figure this shit out......

i'm somewhat in the same position
the keys to your fake job are:
* must be very very boring sounding
* must be work remotely with set times for call-in meetings + set times for "site visits"
* must be something where the specifics can change multiple times so you aren't totally busted in a lie
for me, the fake job i've crafted is: "I'm a development manager for a UK company that develops medical billing software."
I will then go on and on a bit about "Medicare Part B rules" etc (I dont really know anything about that but the name) at this point people tune out and dont want to hear more.
this then gives me the following flexibilities:
"sorry dude cant do lunch tomorrow because we have conference call every tues at 10-12"
"sorry man I will be out of town that day....site visit in atlanta...flying there and back same day"
"wha? oh no...that was a different client....we have tons of clients, that story was about a client in nebraska, the rules in oklahoma are different"
etc
etc

>treasury bonds
thats a dumb move dude. put your money into a municipal bond (check out blackrock muni funds). they pay like 4.5% interest BUT its tax free so really its like getting 6.5% pretax.....treasury bonds pay nothing.

so, i crafted a fake job where i work remote developing software for a medical billing company.

>A good friend would never play with you

That's the thing man, good friends are rare. I know because I have them, but they're are .0000001% of the people I've met.

If I want to have a semi-normal life, I also want to be able to at the very least converse and share time with other "normal" people, except that you would not believe how apparently impossible it is for someone to not fuck that whole thing up by asking for money, help, calling you a spoiled brat, etc. And they just don't understand that just because technically I can doesn't mean I CAN . There's people out there living paycheck to paycheck (AND I GET IT, I REALLY DO) If you're facing paying your rent or being able to drive your car to work instead of taking the bus, it's a healthy response to tap your friend on the shoulder and ask for a little assistance.

Assistance, that I've given! I help my friends a lot in fact, but it does something to the friendship. It removes some element of purity from it that I can't explain. Even if they pay me back! In fact I only know one person that never brings up money.

Very lonely life. Fucking sad life really. Like for example... I'm about to go to the store to buy some food, but it's noon on a wednesday. I'm wearing pajamas and I want to CONTINUE to wear them, but so I don't get the stares or the attitude from the cashier I'm going to put on jeans...Just to take them off in 45 minutes!

I encourage you to look into being a property manage/owner or you are going to drive the apartment complex into the ground and have nothing.

You should be working every day. Keeping records, making contacts with other property managers/owners, learning about business and investing.

Set yourself a schedule and work daily. If you don’t have anything that has to get done do some training and start looking to invest in more property. Just shopping for viable properties is a valuable use of time.

You are a property investor and if anyone asks, no you don’t have any liquid assets, they are all tied up in your properties. Lead them to believe they have mortgages.

You started an online consulting firm for high profile clients that are looking for expert advice. See what I just did there? Honestly, pick a niche (Polynesian underwater basket weaving perhaps) Basically pick a niche that no one you meet in your daily life will actually care about.

This is a managable lie, because it's not really a lie, it's a personal shield that anyone can understand. Sure, you own the complex, but not everyone has to know, which sounds reasonable to anyone. Even if it gets out, they'll be forced to respect your personal space or else reveal that they are gossiping fucks. A relationship without the baggage of everybody knowing you're rich can also form a relationship such that they're too stuck in form to ask for gibs when the "secret" gets revealed. I think it is a solid plan.

WTF? You have a highly regarded position socially, you are just labelling it wrong.

Let me help, repeat after me 10 times:

>I am a Real Estate investor. I own and manage a portfolio of properties. It can be demanding, but it's nice not having to answer to anyone else."

This phrase says "I own valuable shit, my schedule is too busy to give you my time, and nobody tells me wtf to do." Say it with confidence and you get instant alpha status.

OP to me it sounds like your issue is you've located yourself too close to your income sources.
You're always going to feel like a dick in that apartment block as people will know where their money is ending up (you).

You need to firstly hide any wealth you have, if anyone asks you have a loan on the property, you do not own it outright. Your car, you have a loan on as well. This way when you're collecting rent from fucks you tell them the bank is chasing you. Create another bad guy.

You can then also tell people you have a meeting with the bank, a meeting with your insurance broker, a meeting with the maintenance guy. You can also tell people you're just busy catching up on administration.

You're a fucking apartment manager, im sure you also have a hobby or some of your own errands you can be creative with. Also if people ask you for money you just simply say I don't lend money and to talk to the bank. Anyone trying to borrow money from a friend is doing it to avoid having debt that can be called in.

Similar situation except I have a trust fund and family has assets almost certainly surpassing yours (triple digit millions). I also made enough money from eth to survive without family money, if I sold which I'm not and won't.

One difference from you: I can't remember the last time I had to explain myself. I have freedom. I don't HAVE to interact with anybody. Sounds like you're larping honestly OP bc as an actual NEET, I give zero fucks. I will tell them the real deal (except owning crypto ofc that is secret). I don't care I'm proud of the fact that I am not a slave. If people give me shit about it (only drunk ppl ever have) I just laugh in their face and call them poor. Fellow NEET bros can back me up on this.

I'm actually thinking about getting a job tho, but only if it's high status enough to make me look better to women. I have been learning to code in my free time the past few yrs and went to a top 10 college (dropped out tho). I do get bored and sometimes long for belonging to the rest of society. At least I know I could always quit if I get tired of that. Maybe you should do that, just bite the bullet and get a job, then quit if you don't like it or have already built up cred as being a wage slave.

My roommates and friends know I write options for a living; they've never asked me for money (I don't make a lot anyways, just enough to pay rent and the like). Only thing that's come about it was one of my friends who trades a little and wants to get into it more asked me about options - I gladly told him what I know about how to use them and re-derived the mathematical heuristic I use on a weekly basis (no, I won't do that here so don't (you) me unless you show tits).

I don't understand how you anons can go about to the people in your lives and just simply lie to them about yourself, that seems fairly unreasonable unless you're exaggerating for entertainment or something. I've never encountered any issues from people asking me about money or stuffs - then again I usually have a zero-bullshit attitude towards everything so maybe they're too afraid to ask me.

Not everyone enjoy humiliating people. If you were in this situation, assuming you're not a psychopat, you would try not to hurt your relationship with people you like. That can be difficult to do if they ask for favors that you're not willing to give, because a rejection could end the relationship with that person.
That's why it is preferable to hide your wealth, especially if it came suddenly.

Of course if you don't care about destroying relationships with your family/friends you don't have to do that.

Looking through this book now (it's on libgen)

Seems like the approach here is to care about God more than other random people. Also the real reason Jews don't feel guilty about being rich because they are generous to their fellow Jews. When I was a kid in Hebrew school I remembered whenever a community member lost his job or was down on his luck, there was another Jew right there to hire him or give him a place to stay. So they have a place to channel their inherent generosity instead of going full retard like OP and feeling sorry for randoms. Another way to do this is to have a family. No one would dare ask you for money if you have a kid, no matter how rich you are. ("It's for my kid's future!") Free pass to be as greedy as you want.
