I'm certainly not going to be dishonest about what I do, but I could see the wheels spinning on ER = Unemployed Bum at coffee. And I really worry about gold diggers, so saying "I'm rich, I do what I want" isn't an option (or true.... Not the do what I want part, the I'm rich part HA)

"My job went away (true even if you were the one who decided to make it go away), and I took a good look and decided I could stop working as long as I am careful with my money." = you aren't a bum, nor a sugar daddy
I was only pointing out that if he says he's retired, there will be some women who jump to the conclusion that he's wealthy, which he also said he wants to avoid. It's a Catch-22.
