[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]New everything: new house with new cars and lots of showy new toys like a pool, a custom installed playground and or sport court for the kids, hosting lots of big parties for every occasion. Vacationing in “prestige” locations to see and be seen. Joins country club. Loves to participate in fundraisers and auctions but never as an anonymous donor. Joins the right church, gets DC in right sports, right schools always with social engineering a priority.

Also: new - friends. Their best friends are their new neighbors/country club members/maybe new church friends but few if any childhood friends and typically family is on periphery kept hidden so as to keep appearances and mystery alive.

You’re never entirely certain how this family gained all of this wealth and that’s part of the mystique. Maybe he’s some sort of wealth manager and maybe she does really well in sales but no one knows for sure. You’re not to ask.

I find this spot on, and very Nova and to a lesser extent, some in Bethesda. I fact, I think that’s why there is so much Bethesda hate on this board- it’s very old money and annoying; and NOVA is very new money and annoying.

Both are annoying. I guess I’m in camp old money since I live in Bethesda, but sometimes I look over at Loudoun and that looks fun too. But then my colleagues that live there tell me it’s NOT the best and too much keeping up with the Joneses.

With Old Money, you ARE the Joneses. [/quote]
