As a disabled person, having to live on welfare sucks (alongside nation-wide disability benefits). Whenever someone asks what you do for a living, you can't answer the question without looking like complete white trash.

Anyone who asks, tell them you're retired. Retired is considered classy across all demographics. For all intents & purposes you truly are retired.

I'll use that when I'm older (I'm too yougn for that to be believable).

Retired doesn't always mean old. Anybody who has enough money to live the rest of their life without working is technically retired.

To be fair, nobody my age is rich, especially not in my region. Plus, they'll ask what I'm retired from.

Claim to be an aristocrat and refuse to elaborate further.
