[quote=Anonymous]Interesting article about people who are wealthy, but want and strive to appear as if they are not, and instead "blend in", so as to not be seen as one of THEM. The situation described is NYC, but it happens in D.C. as well, in a different way. Example: In NYC, the article describes a woman peeling the $6. price label off her bread, so the help won't see it, and recognize the disparity in lifestyle. In D.C., there are slumlords that own multiple properties, but still cry "poor mouth". It is interesting that anyone with so much money would be preoccupied with "blending", when they never will. [Side question: In the age of Google, how would that ever be possible to have money, but look like you do not? It is not, for the most part.] http://www.msn.com/en-us/money/markets/what-the-rich-wont-tell-you/ar-AAruzjO?li=BBnb7Kz [/quote]
