[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clear, articulate speech with an expansive vocabulary. [/quote]

Disagree. I think vocabulary and speech are a result of educated parents. Just look at the Trump kids. They have money but a father with limited vocabulary.

The Trump kids are extremely articulate and polished.  You are blinded by hatred for Trump, but his kids are polished and successful. [/quote]

Successful at what, exactly? Be specific.[/quote]

The fact that you want to continue to debate on this issue shows how entrenched you are in your Trump hate.

Not gonna play.[/quote]

Totally different NP. Ivanka is polished. DJTJ is NOT. Eric is hard to read because he speaks publicly much more rarely than his siblings. Tiffany and Baron basically never spoke publicly. The Trumps are just like the mafia rich principessas someone mentioned earlier. He got rich by being essentially part of a New York slum lord operation. He's always been rich, but he's never been nice, and has never been treated nicely by his family, and so he is like a forever child who has all the money in the world and just wants to buy everything. His children were not treated AS horribly as he was by their parents so have a little more mental maturity but all have his nastiness. Ivanka is widely reported to be a very mean person behind that extremely polished veneer.  DJTJ is clearly a drug addict who knows how to pull it together, this is another varietal of rich person of course, as another PP said there are more than two.

I grew up rich, not Trump rich but probably DCUM rich. HHI like 500-600k and I will inherit probably a few million dollars when my mom dies. I am not sure what about me signifies that I am rich, but I always know when someone is currently rich but didn't grow up rich. Those people feel the need to constantly talk about what they have, how much it cost, are constantly dropping hints about their wealth into the conversation. I do also interact very well with all walks of life. I would NEVER be unkind to any service employee unless they were being like, blatantly and egregiously rude (like spitting in my coffee or yelling at me or something)[/quote]

Agree. And this is the biggest conflict between me and my husband, who grew up solidly middle class. My mother (who adores him) described him as a striver and she’s absolutely correct. He is always seeking the best new thing, spending money like water, etc. I’m much more careful and never speak about what things cost. I recognize that I’m extremely privileged to not have to worry about money but I still don’t spend it profligately. Dh works hard to make a lot of money, but the mentality is just so different.
