I've been reading Interview with a Vampire, and I'm wondering how you go about keeping yourself funded if you are immortal? Questions might be raised if your driver's license says you are 500 years old. Let's also assume you want to keep your immortality a secret. Even more so if you are a vampire. I assume you could always steal from people, but I'm thinking about investments, money laundering, and playing the long game.

You can have a real fake identity every 30-40 years or so.

Penny a day

I'd say you don't. Sometimes you'll be wealthy, sometimes destitute. Who cares? You can't die, what's the worst that can happen to you?

Thinks of Torchwood and Captain Jack being buried alive for a thousand-plus years

Well yeah ok. I'm saying in the concept of not having money. You can't starve, can't freeze to death, etc. You can be buried for a thousand years by your enemies if you have money just as easily as if you don't.

Invest into gold.

As an immortal I just learned a trick or two, I always assumed getting too involved with paperwork would draw attention to my predicament (hehehehe). I'm not sure at this point what the future holds, but life (teehee) currently, as an immortal, has never been easier.

Long term investments. After many decades roll the money over to a new identity through a shell corporation.
Yes it appears the Cullen family did well. Dad was a doctor appears to be surgeon. So high income and proper investing has done them well. And his attractive wife never ages. Nice.
