"I want to signal that I'm well off" --
You should open with this. Until they realize you make $150k a year and realize you're not really that well off. You sound a bit narcissistic and lack self-awareness, maybe therapy could help?
Also, what are you invested in that's "pulling in" $100k/year in earnings? I'm not doubting you but curious what that could possibly be at your age. Real-estate/rentals?
