[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]With Memorial Day approaching, it seems everyone that has money is off to the coast, maybe Florida, or up to Maine, etc. The UMC pretenders seem to rely on invitations to join, or else they're stuck in town.[/quote]
Haha, op, it must be miserable being you.[/quote]

Seriously!

And just an FYI, OP, the truly wealthy people are not the ones who drive fancy cars and have vacation homes.[/quote]

What is truly wealthy to you? I grew up in Middleburg, VA with  extreme wealth, running in the same circles as the Mars family and Mellon family.  Having multiple homes was the norm and no one was driving a Chevy. We showed horses more expensive than what i bet you consider a "fancy car". The truly wealthy are not pinchung pennies with their multiple homes and cars. My parents still are alive and last month just returned from their ranch in Texas where they basically stay most of the winter.[/quote]

I don't know anyone who is truly wealthy who drives a Chevy or anything that is not a luxury car.  The truly wealthy are past the point of trying to save.[/quote]

Yes to all of this. Lots of chatter on DCUM about how the wealthy don't own second homes or luxury cars. Baloney! Of course they do! Affluent people who need to protect their savings (millionaire next door types) are often frugal, but truly wealthy people spend large amounts of sums on all sorts of frivolous crap. [/quote]
