Graduate with a degree in radiology technology in 3 years when I'm 31 and wipe my 20s from my memory as if they never happened. If anyone asks I'll lie and say I had some fancy lucrative stereotypical corporate desk job like everyone else does the millisecond they turn 22, after having worked like 10 different fast food and retail jobs before even graduating high school and slumming it up with multiple roommates throughout college because obviously everyone does that. I'm not nor have I ever been some antisocial loser or anything haha. Maybe embellish a little by saying I worked from home during the pandemic to really fool them into thinking I'm a normie.
I'll also lie and say I definitely moved out before my 30s, and that I've totally been in a relationship before because everyone else feels the need to be in one at all times and yap about it constantly starting in middle school. "I never tried multiple paths in life that didn't work out, what are you talking about?" I had a very successful white collar career at CorpoCorp incorporated corporation before getting bored with the 6 figure salary and stability and lackadaisically deciding I wanted to make a change and do something more hands on. I've definitely never felt trapped and like the world had it's boot on my neck for years and years and years. No, I've always had, like, a fuck ton of agency and choices without being driven by absolute deprivation and desperation, y'know like most people. "I was never a failure actually, not even once, not even for a minute, but you don't seem to be doing so hot yourself".
And throughout all of this I had a very active social life of course. Casually mention how I've had so many crazy adventures and went to so many legendary parties with my gigantic circle of super successful friends and refuse to provide any specifics. Then live in a campervan and fanatically invest all of my earnings into dividend stocks until I can completely opt out of this ridiculous fucking rotten-to-the-core pyramid scheme "society" and flex on all the normies who once looked down on me and treated me like shit still working their 9-5s and paying a mortgage, dealing with their whiny stupid misbehaving brats and never having the time or energy to do anything but survive while I pretend my 40s are my 20s and travel the world with fuck you money. Winning.
