I guess in general, other people make the connection between "RE" and "FI"... I had an acquaintance spring an "invitation to investors” business plan on me. The person knows I quit my job, and because they are but an acquaintance, I simply told them I'd retired. (Some people, especially "closer" people, I say I'm doing freelance and/or "taking some time off" because it leads to fewer questions--I figure more distant folks won't be quite as curious).
Anyway, I was surprised to get this handed to me. That's a first! I live frugally, but I guess they assume I must be a Madame Moneybags now. Thus far I haven't responded (nor have I read the proposal). This early into FIRE (three months) I'm not ready nor confident enough to be a philanthropist.
Anyone else been targeted by people you know post-FIRE?
