[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"It's not pseudo-wealth if you actually have money. Why do you think it makes you a better person to spend your money on whatever it is you spend your money on? If too different people have lots of leftover money and one chooses to spend the money on a home decorator and one chooses to buy a partial stake in a llama farm or leave it in a checking account or invest it in gold bullion, why is the one who decorates her house the lesser person. If you are giving all of your money to charity - sure, but otherwise get off your high horse. "

Lots of people with nicely decorated houses, fancy cars and trips and private school educations for their kids have high income, not money. Money is high net worth.  I don't think it makes me a better person. I was responding to the poster who said she or he was "kinda surprised" that everyone doesn't want these things. Perhaps one reason not everyone wants them is that some of us have been successful in America for over 100 years and we feel no need to act nouveau riche.[/quote]

While I agree with you the whole old money thing really rubs me the wrong way. Sorry, but you have not been successful for 100 years. I'm guessing you are in your 30s or 40s so likely an adult earning money for about 20-30. Other folks before you were successful, and just because you are related to them, doesn't really mean a thing. I don't see the honor on spending someone else's hard earned money. Nothing against it, but it's a not a sign of success. It really just reminds me of trust fund babies. Let's face it, Paris Hilton's great grandfather built that fortune.[/quote]
