Hahah, that's a good one!

I am afraid my friends would change the attitude towards me and that I might become a target for criminals, etc.
Believe me, I understand. Probably best not to tell her about it until you feel more trust in her than that.As a matter of fact, even my girlfriend doesn't know I am FIREd as I am afraid it might mess things up between us and I would constantly doubt if she is with me because of the money or not.
Ugh. If you decide to do this, I'd suggest trying to think of something that you would genuinely like to do, even if the pay is low.I am even thinking of finding a job now just to clear all the doubts that I am FIREd and sticking to it for a year or so.
Yes, that would be an awkward topic to obfuscate. Our actual job and financial stability are key elements of who we are. Not that anyone should troll for gold diggers, but between serious partners, there has to be transparency..........I personally find it odd about hiding FIRE status from a romantic interest. If it will "mess things up" or if you doubt if she's with you for the money, then I'd say it's better to find that out sooner rather than later for any number of reasons. I'm not saying whip out a net worth statement when having a first coffee, but I think a pattern of deception in a relationship that has lasted more than several dates isn't good.
YMMV, etc.

Hello everyone!
Therefore, I need an advice on what I could tell to people I do for a living so that they would not question either my job (incl. asking for professional services) nor my wealth status.
.While Financial Manager is fine, it might invite additional questions. I find using a job title that is perceived to be dull and boring, like Accountant, shuts people right up. Most folks don’t have ANY interest in learning more about debits and credits.
Hello everyone!
I couldn’t find a thread on this topic so decided to open a new one.
I am the guy in my late 20’s and I’ve already managed to get financially independent and retired early.
As I would like to practice a stealth wealth, when I tell people I quit my job and don’t do anything at the moment, it raises a lot of eyebrows and some of them assume I became wealthy so I don’t have to work anymore.

Thanks a lot in advance!
I shut them up with "Garagiste".
