[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Clean and clutter free.

And art on the walls rather than photographs of the couple everywhere (a definite sign of low class). [/quote]

Clean and clutter free isn’t associated with class from what I’ve seen. Plenty of cluttered upper class homes. The clutter is more likely to be piles of books and dusty silver though.[/quote]

Upper class homes are clean but tend to be decorated with a classic, layered look rather than a modern, bare bones aesthetic. Think: antiques, armoires, bookshelves, ottomans, etc.[/quote]

Disagree. You're just describing the difference between old money and new money homes.  You can't argue that a billionaire's mountain modern ski home isn't "classy" with a straight face.  [/quote]

Not even.  My father was the first in his family to shun the upkeep of family homes and land that was held for 300 years.  He sold it, invested the money, and lives a nice comfortable suburban life in the Midwest.  His kids all stayed in the city. We have modern-ish things, but don’t feel the pressure to be bogged down with appearances of old money.  Not everyone will fit neatly into your box. Oh, and here’s another one that will blow your mind - old money and new money mix a lot more often than you think - especially amongst the intelligentsia.  Most people with real money aren’t that concerned about why others think.  New money are confident in their trade or ability to make money. Old money have always had status - and therefore confidence.  Confidence attracts confidence![/quote]
