Default How do you explain your career?

I just hate when a woman or a new friend ask what you do for a living, now that i play poker for a living. I was just curious if anyone has a good way of telling people this. Or what is the alternative, assuming one would want to keep this on the downlow, what other ways to not answer the question directly, do you tell them your in investments? or is there any ideas you could promote. Another words what if you dont want to be upfront about your job as this is my only job. What do yuo suggest saying.

Just say you "work with computers."

Or tell people to mind their own business.

Why are people embarassed to say that they make enough money by playing a game to not work? Usually when people find out I know people who can pull that off, they are envious.

Just say that you are retired.

Because you pretty much are, right? And it's pretty cool to be retired at 23 or however old you are.
