[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Most old money people I know are very smart. The lifestyle is so very different than new money. Even the language is different. Everything is in code. One word means something else. They are pretty much deathly afraid that you will push you preconceptions onto them and so they tend to be pretty reserved. At least the ones I know.[/quote]

Sounds stressful to lie about who you are[/quote]

I think it's more along the lines of Bless her heart.  If your not from the south or in the know, it sounds like a lovely sentiment.  But if you are in the know, then you understand what is really being said.[/quote]

I love how old money alway turns into old south...[/quote]

Often old south is old money.[/quote]

Wrong. [/quote]

Ok. I'm sure you know better than I know.  :roll:

- Old southern gal from old moneyed family[/quote]

Yes...because you're family anecdote applies for an entire country...brilliant.

I'm also from an 'old southern moneyed' family, and I haven't felt the need to keep the myth of southern gentility going. The south is and has always been poor, with a few wealthy families scattered around. Even the money in the south isn't from the south....

The money, old and new, is just where it ALWAYS has been. [/quote]

Bless your heart.[/quote]
