If I were Filthy Rich
By JeepManStan+95 If you won, what would be your cover story?
Assuming you’re an average person belonging to any socioeconomic class aside from the wealthy class, what would your cover story be?
Many folks would want to move into a better community, buy a bigger home, nicer car etc. You probably wouldn’t be working anymore. You move into the new community where the neighbors will eventually want to meet you and the subject of what you do for a living will naturally come up.
What would you tell them?

+76 @WalkingOnSunshine83 I would just say I inherited money. The new neighbors don’t know my family.
+73 @series_hybrid Form a corporation, Corp buys a nice house, I get a job at the Corp, and part of my compensation is to house-sit the nice house. When a friend or relative wants to move in and pay no rent because "I can afford it", I can say "it's not my house"
+56 @Forward_Teach7675 Bitcoin. Even people that say they understand it can’t explain it. 😊
+45 @FunC00ker Me and 10 other guys got together and robbed some casinos. Shhhh, don't tell anyone.
+39 @Low-Palpitation-9916 The gate is at the end of my 100 foot driveway, I won't be meeting any neighbors.
+32 @RichEmu9748 I’m not telling anyone anything. It’s no one’s business. I’ll just say I’m retired and leave it at that. A little bit of mystery is nice. 🤷♀️
+31 @Ragnarsworld "If I tell you, they'll make me move again".
+27 @bahamapapa817 I found a hard drive with old bitcoin. People close to me would believe that. My other would be that I was on a team that invented something that lots of people use and I sold my share with an nda. My third would be that I won a lawsuit against an old employer with an NDA. I would strategically tell people this so when randos come asking for money and I ask how they heard I got this money I can narrow down the big mouths
+23 @Omphaloskeptique I’d be in full incognito mode where possible. I would never associate with people interested in my personal finances. I don’t know how this has been normalized over the years… but me no like.
+15 @Carpetdime2024 I’m a successful writer using a nom de plume which I care not to reveal.

+14 @Early-Judgment-2895 Easy, my career now involves remote work so I work from home in my current field. Don’t need a new car, and even a new house wouldn’t be odd if I kept it just a little nicer than what I have. No reason to go super crazy on any of it
+12 @postmanpat84 Uk player here, I would go to alot of boxing, wwe events around the world. I would start a PR company on Instagram and people ask say I am working for Saudi Arabia company. Might just employe someone just to post boxing/wrestling news on my Instagram page buy aload of fake followers 100k plus, so i look legit if friends ask what I do. Hate to known as a lottery winner.
+12 @Vivid-Vehicle-6419 I intend to be incognito. Living an average middle class life, in a middle class house, with a less than impressive car. I am old enough to use the “got lucky enough to retire early” excuse. With my varied work background they can just assume the money was made through work, savings, and good investments.
+11 @East-Leading4820 my porn career was really successful.
