About 70% of the wealthy I know who live in or around Edgemoor are self made...don't have a formal study, but that is my estimate.

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Some did for sure, many are self made.   Yes, bragging rights are being bought, but so are connections.  What is. wrong with doing what successful people do if you can afford it?

[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Go to the Edgemoor neighborhood in Bethesda.  Knock on the doors of people living in all the 3 million dollar + homes.  I would bet 90% or more of their kids do private school( I know many of them).  These are not dumb people--most are highly educated and wealthy.  They did not get there by spending their money foolishly.  They want the best environment for their kids that money can buy--that is private school not public.[/quote]

A lot of those people inherited their wealth.

Rich people buy prestige, nothing more.[/quote][/quote]
really? define "many"?

Sure, you are buying connections and bragging rights, and why not, if you can afford it. But, "They did not get there by spending their money foolishly. "  is not really true.

As I stated earlier, you are buying prestige, and small class sizes.[/quote][/quote]
so, 70% of those rich people made it on their own with no connections, but they send their kids to private school to make connections.[/quote]
