[quote=Anonymous]Everyone on DCUM is obsessed with the amount of money you make rather than the amount of money you have. I can assure you that the PP who summarized the American class system - and as a member of one of the old-money American families, if you work at all or need to work at all then you’re just splitting hairs. Once you have sufficient assets, you may be rich but that is far far from being considered upper class — at that point it becomes a matter of taste, of family, of connections, of membership and even a huge amount of net worth won’t buy you access to it automatically. I laughed at out loud at the suggestion that wealthy people live in gated commiinities. I assure you - outside of Manhattan doorman buildings, no one who was truly wealthy would be caught dead in a gated community outside of DC. Maybe in the Caribbean? But honestly the old-money doesn’t bling. It’s considered bad taste. [/quote]
