Do anybody know someone who claims to have retired early, but they really aren't?

I have an old friend from high school who's very active on social media. They love to claim that they retired at 29, but now they spend all their time advertising their services on social media trying to teach people how to raise their credit, business plan,money management skills, investing, and crypto trading stuff.
Not to mention she does freelance graphic design, and does a weekly podcast talking about whatever.

I respect having the skills to make money in a variety of ways. I respect entrepreneurs. But she is still working, unless I'm wrong. She swears shes retired because she left her job she went to school for. But if you have to spend everyday on social media advertising your services in order to get paid, that sounds like work to me.

Ive seen multiple people like this, but just using a particular example. These the type of people who look down on anyone working a traditional 9-5, meanwhile they have no retirement money or insurance.

Rant over. I know I know, dear Facebook.
