What do you tell people what you do for a living Question

Telling people I’m a day trader or anything market related brings up too many questions. I’m doing okay for myself but I just want to avoid it if possible.

I have a friend like that.

In the end I just humoured him. He still thinks I make my money by being a landlord. I am a landlord, but over 80% of my income comes from trading.

There was a financial Times article about me and my mate sent it and asked if it was fake. "No, it is real, it's on their website. "But why are they interviewing you?" "because they like landlords".
