My family is new money and we have normal friends and unlike the "country club" crowd we do not only associate with other people who have money. We cuss, we yell ,we are just a normal family! We are totally an outcast amongst other "wealthy " people . Although I can assure you on paper that we are probably wealthier than 99% of the people in the room. Maybe its because we did not have a strong entitled upbringing? Did not attend elite private schools? It bothers me that the wealthy "wasp" type think they are gods gift to earth and are so much better than people. There have been situations before were i wanted to say" you know what really aren't as rich as you act so stop being a fucking dick".
Why is it that people who come from "family money" have a tendency to think they are so much better than people when in often times they have not accomplished much at all? |

There are all kinds of people with money. Why are you looking to fit in with people who are so different from you? It shouldn't be that hard to find folks more like you, with or without tons of $.
You sound pretty fixated both on your $, and on the "old money" people. |
| Just live your life and be who you are. Fit in enough to accomplish what you need to accomplish and don't worry about if people like you. |
|
You clearly aren't well educated and you clearly have poor manners.
Money doesn't buy class, Sweetie. |
|
Your kids will learn how to deal with douche bags and this will be valuable for their future when they have to deal with them in their business.
|
| What exactly are they doing that makes you feel that they are so dickish, other than not having much in common with you? |
Troll score: 3. |

How on earth would you possibly know how much money another family has or how they got it , unless they are the Kennedys?
My family is from another area of the country , I keep my mouth shut about money, and I guarantee you no one knows I pull from a trust |
| You are confusing access to wealth and attainment of manners. |
Out of 100? |
| Where has your family tried to fit in? How exactly are they outcasts? What are examples where wealthy people act so much better than you? This is just your own insecurity speaking. As others have said, work on manners and being gracious. That is good advice for all socioeconomic levels. |
+1. The old money people I know never talk about money and you would never guess they are "old" money. |
This is a new money vs. newer money situation. |
| There is a book called "The Millionaire Mind" that explains how people like your family operate. You are normal for who you are. People who display the most wealth aren't usually the wealthiest. |
| The difference isn't new money vs old money, it's education and class. |
