[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I come from an old money family on one side (“old” is relative but think the Van Rijns in The Guilded Age, not the Russells), and a newer wealthy family (1930/40s) on another side. Most of the money is now in the family foundations and us descendants sit on the boards and spend a lot of time forging out how to give away our ancestors’ money in the most effective ways. Those of us who have money now have it because we worked for it. I have good manners and can converse on many subjects and I’m proficient in several languages, can play tennis, piano, sail, ski, etc, but I can also change a tire, fix a tear in a dress and read a map like a cartographer. Basically, my parents made sure I had some practical knowledge of life despite the privilege of my birth. [/quote] Do all "old money" people sound like such pretentious tools?[/quote]
