[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]My kid went to one of these schools and that wasn’t our experience at all. Lots of new money. Most old money families have spent all their money. [/quote] Yeeeeah, that's not how it works[/quote] It is for most of them. Or are you thinking of just two generations of professional upper middle class instead? Most of the true “old” money hang on to who their family “used to be” even though the money is gone. Like desperately using old family names for their kids and maintaining the WASPy customs like monogrammed linens and silver place settings, philanthropy of some kind, but not actually being wealthy. DH ‘s father’s side was old money, English upper class, town named after them when they settled, nannies, servants, boarding school at age 6 kind of upbringing. The only thing that he kept from that lifestyle is some antiques and good manners. [/quote]
