[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I love a Cartier stack with a platinum wedding ring.  Bag-wise Bottega all the way.  Clothes would depend on if coming from work or not.  Why not look great?  What's the big deal?

Also, to those of you using the term "new money" in 2023, just stop.  Do you mean old money like Paris Hilton? lol.

"Old money" is pretty much gone and the big new money is in entertainment, oil and tech.

New money means you did not grow up wealthy and thus are now flashy with your “new money.” That’s what they are referring to as being new. New to them. [/quote]

Yes I know what it means but the term is outdated.  Old money is no longer conservative and the money no longer lasts.  The gap between wealthy and huge money has dramatically widened. Real money is in tech, oil, and entertainment.  Rest assured they are flashy even second generation or more.  Even generations old money isn't conservative any more - Paris Hilton is as flashy as it gets..   Just say "flashy."[/quote]
