[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]PP and I happen to have family members who are Old Money. They live a quiet life. The couple each have what I’d call genteel careers. They have a gorgeous newer second home where they live most of the year and generously offer family to stay when they aren’t there. No social media of note. Not “joiners” so no country club, [b]no charity fundraising circles.[/b] Intensely private by choice.

They take amazing vacations and travel often all around the world, but no vacation photos on instagram.

DC educated in private schools but nothing fancy or big name private/not one ever discussed on dcum.[/quote]

Old money folks are required to raise money for charity. You have to sit on the board of something, and the whole point of that is fundraising. It's cultural. You have to do it. You can't "take amazing vacations and travel all around the world" while not raising money to help the less fortunate. It's not done. Even if you don't put "vacation photos on instagram."

You are either confused about the cultural status of your "family members" or they do charity work you are unaware of. [/quote]
