[quote=Anonymous]First off I need it to be clear that this is a post I spores out of harmless curiosity and not meant to create division. Second, if you plan to post in this thread simply to create an argument ("why do you care about money?" etc) I will not respond and I encourage others not to as well. I want to keep this thread on-topic and as civil as possible.

Ok! Now here is my question: what do southerners mean when they talk about their wealth, generally? I am an undergraduate from New York and have visited some of my old high school friends at southern schools this year: namely SMU, W&L and UT Austin. I saw a lot of preppy Greeks in luxury cars and many seemed to come from families with land and country club membership. However I'm uncertain what "wealthy" is in the South and obviously I'd never be rude enough to ask. In Manhattan the prep school I went to had kids with hundreds of millions or even billions. (I'm not one of them - upper middle class kid on scholarships and financial aid). So I tend to consider that "rich". I do wonder if these rich southerners I see are more in the $200,000-a-year range with a $400,000 house. Of course I'd never dream of asking anyone in real life! But I'm curious so I'd appreciate hearing from southerners here who can speak candidly since its anonymous.

Thank you![/quote]
