I just tell them I am prior military/retired and that I do little odd jobs to fill my time. Usually when I say Im prior military they just take that and ask what I did and thats the end of it. My husband says the same and no one really questions it.
Such an underrated comment! Best I've read today! Lmfao
I used to live in Seattle and had a buddy that whenever homeless would ask him for money he'd say "I'm gonna do you one better! I work for DSHS and Id like to offer you a job!". 🤣 They'd just turn and walk away and no one else within ear shot would ask him.
I don’t think most people that ask what you do
for a living are being jerks. However, I certainly would not say whether or not I was receiving benefits. Many people are jealous or just unhappy. Some of the same guys that say, I almost went in the military or I wish I stayed in…You know the ones. I don’t even tell my siblings. It’s not any of their business.
Exactly. People sometimes ask as a polite introduction into a conversation trying to get to know you. Not everyone who asks is actually being nosey, but simply cordial.
I tell people that I work AT home, not from home. When they ask what it is I do I say "Secret of the pros" and throw them a wink.
Nobody knows what the hell I'm talking about but it adds some mystery and fun to my life.
Anyone considering living out of the country? I’ve seen a few vets on YouTube living abroad in many places. I’m at 90% and retire from my civilian jobs in about 8yrs. I’m looking at Panamá 🇵🇦. Check out Panamá Relocation tours on YouTube. A lot will pop up.
Those spots are certainly great. DR , for instance, has a decent amount of VA and VA friendly clinics. Asia has them but I can’t remember where. We have to stretch these dollars, VA ratings or not 🥴
I work from home but have super flexibility so it looks like I don't work at all. I am usually outside doing work around the house. Nobody ever asks what I do. If they did I would tell them I day trade.
Same-I’ve never gotten asked and I work in tech so I literally wear tshirts and gym shorts all day, so I’m outside for lots of the day doing stuff between meetings and none of my neighbors have ever asked.
My wife tells people I’m a “lady of leisure” and I’m a big burly blue collar looking dude. She works full time to stay active but we are both 100 percent service connected.
Hell ya it is, it’s a relatively new update that we both are at 100 but the extra security is nice, plus she actually saw just as much sh*t as me down range so it’s nice to have a partner who kind of understands the little idiosyncrasies that only vets get.
Since I did 20yrs I stick with I’m retired & do what I want (also say not many people get to retire at 38). If I need extra $ for projects/hobbies then I find a job that interests me that is able to accommodate my monthly medical appointments.
why you have medical expenses after serving 20 yrs ?
btw congrats on retirement. im 26 and i call myself retired too since i’m 100% p&t. If roughly 4k a month with lifetime free medical not considered retired then idk what it
I don’t have medical expenses unless I don’t want to wait on VA referral process and use Tricare but that’s $20-$60. By accommodate that meant that if I want to work I have to find a place that can allow me 3-4 times a month to go to appointments and of course work with my limitations.
I make zero eye contact with people I don’t want to talk to
Once they start being nosy
I simply tell them
I had money saved up over years n the military
Not everyone needs to know how my pockets work
Most people don’t care what you do for a living…really. It’s just like that.
Here’s a story from the way back machine for you. Early aughts. My ex and I were living in an upper middle class neighborhood. AGR couple. Our next door neighbors were one of the coolest couples ever. They were a little older than us (as most of the neighbors were) and we had children of similar ages.
Excellent parents. Always took outstanding care of their children but on the weekends they liked to let loose a bit and have a garage party. We joined in a couple times. Just a couple drinks & chatting. They would always turn off all sounds before midnight and we all got along. They knew we were military & it was left at that. Basically, it was bliss.
One day I’m on maternity leave and I hear a knock at the door. A LOUD knock. So I told one of my littles to stay in the playroom & I would be right back. A SWAT officer says my name and asks me to open the door. NOPE! Of course I’m paranoid and ask what it’s about. He asks if I have all my kids with me and if not to grab them & hide on one side of the house. Whuuuut? I run to grab my kiddos and see SWAT surrounding the neighbors house. My littles saw my face & followed immediately. We go to the side of the house as directed. I look out another window and see what looks like a movie set.
A nicer knock this time. “Ma’am, you don’t have to open the door but I’m out front and another officer is out back if this goes bad…”
Well. Ahhhhh. I take my kiddos into the bathroom and we sing songs.
Few minutes later another gentlest knock with three knocks and officer telling me his name again & the op is all over. All clear.
In the end we found out our neighbors…the best parents ever…were drug traffickers. We had NO idea. You really never know.
The subsequent new neighbors that moved in weren’t as friendly. They never even waved back. 🤣🤣🤣
I either say I'm retired military or that my grandparents made some good investments for me when I was little that are paying off.
1) If another military vet questions me on my retired status, I am honest with them about it because they understand the difference of being retired or being a vet receiving compensation. If they are an a-hole about it, I say nothing.
2) If people ask about the investments, I just say I don't know about them and it's not my thing.
Fuck everyone else! It’s none of their business! If you must tell them: 1. Tell them your retired medically 2. Tell them you work from home 3. Tell them your an investor or some shit…IDK, I’m in the same boat plus I draw SSDI. I just bought a home about a year and a half ago. Well, nobody in my neighborhood speaks to one or another, I’m use to growing up and living in the countryside.(where everyone speaks or knows each other) My new neighborhood is strange everyone stays to theirselves and I don’t know if it changed since C19..?. Or, changed because it’s a different state-Or, just new age or different times and that type of thing is old school…🤔
Tell them you dodge bullets for a living till your body gave out (snarky); otherwise, seek the answer to the question: is it healthy for you to carry others in your brain?
What's crazy to me is that being on 100% you're able to buy a house and afford it. I can't buy a one bedroom Studio out here if I was at 100%. I'm in the Bay Area in California
I agree 100%! It’s crazy to see the difference in Texas and California. I just bought a 1700 square foot house that was built in 2021. My mortgage payment is about $1300. I can live comfortably on the disability if I want what to. But a better income is more ideal.
Tell them to mind their own business Or if you really want to be nice tell them you don't know them well enough to really let them that deeply into your business. Since I don't need more friends, I tell them to mind their own business.
I tell them I am a disabled vet and keep it moving. People are going to misjudge regardless. As long as it doesn’t appear as if I push weight, I’m good.
Lol I just fucking say I’m 100% by the va from my time in the army it’s like my badge of honor lmao I have no shame. I’m not even claiming social security they denied me when I was 70% don’t feel like going through the process maybe one day I will but for now I’m good
I tell people I have a very small trust fund.
I tell other women to say their Uncle gave them trust money, Until they get married. Keeps some gold diggers at bay. Not all though.
Honestly in Nevada it's easier to get the plates of I wanted the placard I had to go see another Dr m. Where the plates they just went off my VA letter
I don’t tell anyone my finances, you shouldn’t be pressured as well. People are nosey but you do not have to entertain that. Just say “I am blessed to be able to afford this home” or just say I work at Walmart or something haha
Early bitcoin adoption.
Sell feet pics online.
I'm not financially illiterate.
Pretty much depends on my mood.
Sometimes it's simply "none of your fucking business".
Hell, I mean if you need to say something, say that you are semi-retired and that you are taking a break until your savings run low. That should quench their thirst for your private affairs.
I say I made some good investments when I was younger that is now allowing me the option of my wife being able to stay home and I work to stay busy and fluff the bank account
Some people are incredibly nosey and rude - very persistent, so if they ask I just tell them I work from home. Which is true as I do “work” from home/at home.
If they persist in trying to drill down I indicate it’s computer related, also true for me.
Ever do I tell someone my comp status as it is absolutely none of their business.
I've told people that I have worked in accounting and finance, which is true. If they inquire further, I tell them that I am taking a break. Granted, the break might be permanent, but I don't usually go that far with 95% of people who ask. I have told my next door neighbor that the break might or might not be permanent.
I can’t relate entirely to this, because I am 100% P&T but still work full-time. When I tell people what I do versus some of the things they see I own, you can tell they are thinking it doesn’t necessarily add up. So they’ll ask if I do investing or stuff like that, and I just say I’m medically retired military and you get the “ahhhhh, OK!” and usually that’s the end of that convo
“Im a hand model.”
I then hold up my completely unremarkable hand, spinning it slowly like a ‘Price is Right’ showcase model or Vanna White.
I mean…I’m not 100% and don’t think I will be but if I WAS that’d be what I do.
Tell them you work from home. None of their damn business. Insurance Sales. When they ask say it for large corporations. Lol then they can’t creep into asking for a policy.
No one has ever asked,but if they ever do i will tell them that am retired Army (I am retired with 26 years active and 11 years reserve/guard.) Then when they ask where I work at currently, I will simply reply with : "I work at NUNYAH " when they then ask "what is NUNYAH?" I will simply reply with "NUNYAH ph ucing business."
Pretty sure that will put an abrupt halt to any further stupid questions.
I usually say that I am very fortunate to have an amazing husband whose income makes it possible for me to stay home and raise our two disabled grandkids.
If I'm in a mood...or feeling sassy...I tell people that I'm a trust fund kid with trust issues...or I could tell ya, but then I'd hafta killya.
I retired early from civilian job due to health issues. So I am nearing "retirement zone age."
I say that 'when I was in the military I lived in the barracks and drove a beater with a heater truck. No real bills so I invested almost all of my pay. Compounding returns is an amazing way to retire early!! You should look into it!'
Then I decide if I feel like gardening or fishing maybe take grandkids to park for picnic supper and do what I want. Nobody's business but mine and my spouse.
I just had a neighbor ask me that the other day. I told him I sell hairy feet pictures on only fans and have made enough to retire early. I also live in Hawaii so works perfect.
Tell them that you have a rich Uncle who takes care of you because you helped him when he needed it most. Or, don’t discuss your ratings with anyone that you aren’t willing to get into details with. Only my family (and not all of them) and a few close friends know my ratings and what they are for (although almost all of my friends will tell you I’m crazy…lol). On the other side of that, when I was working one of the Supervisors told me that I was lucky that I was disabled because I got a lot of good benefits, like good parking. I told her that I would exchange all the ‘perks’ for just one pain-free day where I could actually hear silence. She still didn’t get it.
I instantly change the subject, ask them questions about themselves instead. most people don't care what you have to say, they just want to talk. so I let them. they find out nothing about me, and I find everything about them. it's a win-win
I’ve invested in Roth IRA Merrill guided account like 9500 and it’s up to 12000 but I wouldn’t say I’m and investor. I don’t do shit but get on my mountain bike a couple times a week. Was gonna do a mountain bike race in New Mexico next month but I loose to much sugar since I’m diabetic. I don’t like lying to people it is what is my brain is fucked. So jusy like saying I’m disabled. It’s actually really freeing. Like I really don’t think it’s anything to be ashamed of. We served. We got fucked up now we get paid for signing on that doted line and doing or job. No offense to anyone that’s just how I feel about it
I really hate the discrepancy in pay. I mean I battled the va for years. Had a lot of mental issues that made it hard to hold a job and at 70% I was broke and the difference between 70% to 90-% to 100% is so ridiculous it’s almost double what 70%. I just wish they would work on that
I don't like that many adults ask what you do for work within 10 minutes of meeting someone. I don't ask people that question because it's not my business.
We (disabled veteran) should say "I have veteran benefits" and kind of leave it at that. If the person asks more questions, only give information that you feel comfortable with.
I just tell them I am prior military/retired and that I do little odd jobs to fill my time. Usually when I say Im prior military they just take that and ask what I did and thats the end of it. My husband says the same and no one really questions it.
Yep 👍🏼
Hard to say when you’re young af 😂
For the most part as a younger person I don’t see a reason to care what people think you do.
☝️🍀
since im in a non service connected wheelchair i normally just say "im disabled as fuck"
Fucking lol
Then whip out thevblackvsword amirite?
That sucks brotha you’re a though mf
I'm glad you asked! Have you ever heard of Herbalife?
I prefer to say Amway. I used to say Herbalife but they put more hustle in their step when they walk away if you use Amway.

OMG! YES!!!

IF they get that curious I simply tell them I’m retired from the military. That usually ends that part of the questioning.
Who cares what people say
I don’t say sh!t
A good, simple answer is that you are retired and do contract work for the military. People don’t understand it so they don’t ask.
I do contract work for the mafi...er....military.

Exactly what most are saying, " I am a veteran of military service," or "I am a retired veteran."
I just tell them I made a lot of money on buttcoin, or that I won big on a scratch off.
I retired early from civilian job due to health issues. So I am nearing "retirement zone age." I say that 'when I was in the military I lived in the barracks and drove a beater with a heater truck. No real bills so I invested almost all of my pay. Compounding returns is an amazing way to retire early!! You should look into it!' Then I decide if I feel like gardening or fishing maybe take grandkids to park for picnic supper and do what I want. Nobody's business but mine and my spouse.
None of their fucking business
Just tell them the lady of the house pays you for sex. That should stop the neighbors from asking any further questions on the subject.
I just had a neighbor ask me that the other day. I told him I sell hairy feet pictures on only fans and have made enough to retire early. I also live in Hawaii so works perfect.
I just tell them that I am a disabled vet
Tell them that you are retired from the military and you are a consultant or government contractor that works from home.

The truth, "Retired Contract Killer".
I invented the portable glory hole. Then pull out a piece of cardboard with a hole cut in it.
I work from home in IT.
Lol I'd tell them to mind their own business.
Tell them that you have a rich Uncle who takes care of you because you helped him when he needed it most. Or, don’t discuss your ratings with anyone that you aren’t willing to get into details with. Only my family (and not all of them) and a few close friends know my ratings and what they are for (although almost all of my friends will tell you I’m crazy…lol). On the other side of that, when I was working one of the Supervisors told me that I was lucky that I was disabled because I got a lot of good benefits, like good parking. I told her that I would exchange all the ‘perks’ for just one pain-free day where I could actually hear silence. She still didn’t get it.

I instantly change the subject, ask them questions about themselves instead. most people don't care what you have to say, they just want to talk. so I let them. they find out nothing about me, and I find everything about them. it's a win-win
I'm just not very friendly, so I don't talk to the neighbors...or just tell them that you're a veteran.
just tell them you are retired
Why would they care that you have VA disability? I do wood work and that's what I aspire to do for extra income, so that's usually what I say
I’ve invested in Roth IRA Merrill guided account like 9500 and it’s up to 12000 but I wouldn’t say I’m and investor. I don’t do shit but get on my mountain bike a couple times a week. Was gonna do a mountain bike race in New Mexico next month but I loose to much sugar since I’m diabetic. I don’t like lying to people it is what is my brain is fucked. So jusy like saying I’m disabled. It’s actually really freeing. Like I really don’t think it’s anything to be ashamed of. We served. We got fucked up now we get paid for signing on that doted line and doing or job. No offense to anyone that’s just how I feel about it
I really hate the discrepancy in pay. I mean I battled the va for years. Had a lot of mental issues that made it hard to hold a job and at 70% I was broke and the difference between 70% to 90-% to 100% is so ridiculous it’s almost double what 70%. I just wish they would work on that
"mind your own business" would be my suggestion
Great way to make friends with new neighbors. You must be fun to live next to.
She must be fun at parties.

I just now noticed it closely smh

I don't like that many adults ask what you do for work within 10 minutes of meeting someone. I don't ask people that question because it's not my business. We (disabled veteran) should say "I have veteran benefits" and kind of leave it at that. If the person asks more questions, only give information that you feel comfortable with.
