[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]10K sqf new build in Mclean just screams noveau riche. You have no class or provenance and that's truly what counts.

If you had any sense you'd have bought in an older, respected neighborhood, been humble, and started building provenance.[/quote]

You are right. Most of the people here are self made. I have no problem with being new money. I’m proud of our accomplishments and our humble immigrant beginnings. We are well educated and our kids are well adjusted nice kids in public school. We have politicians, professional athletes, techies, lawyers, doctors and business owners in our neighborhood. Most of them are all self made. Good for them and us.[/quote]

Not the PP, but I'm the one who originally called you out because your story was inconsistent. I don't care if you live in a 10k size house or greater, or where you went to school, etc. But saying that you came from a humble background combined with your house feels small, just seems quite ridiculous. I don't think almost anyone (even here on dcum) could take a stand along all those lines. It's likely that at least one of things you've mentioned is not true; either you're not rich, or you did not come from humble beginnings, or if both of those things are true, you've then completely lost your sense of original self. I think you should paint a less conflicting story, that's all.[/quote]

And I didn’t say our house was small. I said it didn’t feel that big. We just have extra rooms and space for family when they visit.[/quote]
