I'm hoping for some insight from any of you who might be a bit uncomfortable demonstrating, discussing, or otherwise divulging your wealth and/or income.
Right now, I'm able to practice stealth wealth fairly easily, as I play the poor resident card: I ride my bike to the hospital, pack my own lunches, take modest vacations, usually by car. (I am a resident physician, by the way.)
However, as I look to complete residency training in a well-paying specialty in a couple of years and relocate to another part of the country, I am looking for ideas how to conceal my level of wealth and income from all but the closest friends. Okay, I'd not even want my close friends knowing about my abundant wealth and income. What ideas or alternate side-jobs could I use as an attention-diverting story?
How do you answer these kinds of questions without letting the cat out of the bag:
Why did you move to town?
Where do you work?
What did you do back in your old town?
I'd appreciate any stories you might have about your transition out of residency.
Thanks,
JB
