I hate the notion that if you arent working, its bad... Fuck off... if i can afford it, maybe i dont want to work...
I suspect it's the implication you were doing illegal things to survive. And they don't want to be listed as your employer if those things catch up with you later.
Also, if you can say you were living on savings you'd be fine, I assume.
If you tell a job you have savings, they're going to think you'll just leave the job whenever you want. They don't want that. They want dependable workers, as in, the workers depend on the job to live.
Thank you for explaining the very mistake I have made in an interview. I don't know why this didn't occur to me until now.
