[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]It's an upper class vs blue collar thing. They have the money to not have to do those things. [/quote]

Not true. My dad's family is very old New England money and he does remodels himself, knows cars inside and out, etc. He always had an interest (although I will say, my uncles are nothing like him). [/quote]
+1 I’ve actually found it to be the opposite. The old money people I know teach their kids this stuff, make sure they know how to do it, encourage outdoor pursuits, etc. The “oh, my kids don’t need to know that the help will just do it!” screams new money. [/quote]

"Throwing money at it" = new money.  For sure. [/quote]

+1. My grandfather was very old money, upper class and there's nothing he couldn't do around the house -- painting, fixing a toilet that's running, car issues. He NEVER took the approach of -- we're so rich, the help will do it. As much as he tried to teach his sons, they DID take the view of they'd never need to know because they were rich. Oddly though the next generation (grandkids) have a LOT of his qualities and do take these things upon themselves the way grandpa did.[/quote]
