Correct. Old money is quiet money. New money? Not so much, lol. Think Rodney Dangerfield in Caddyshack. His character was that irreverent about country club culture for a reason. The whole movie pokes fun at "the establishment."
We're getting off the original topic but where I'm from and what I was taught (from my dad) was that true wealth (not necessary old money) was quiet not loud.
From Linkedin:
>>
Money often talks loudly when it comes to extravagant lifestyles and conspicuous consumption. People with substantial resources can easily flaunt their wealth by driving luxury cars, living in extravagant mansions, and indulging in ostentatious hobbies. While these displays may garner attention and envy, they don't necessarily reflect true wealth. True wealth, which whispers, can be seen in a lifestyle that is comfortable and fulfilling without the need for constant extravagance. It prioritizes financial security, investments, and experiences over material possessions. It's quiet, it whispers.<<
This is how I choose to live. Unpretentiously but comfortably. And I gravitate to those same qualities in men. Since I am attracted to ambition, I tend to attract successful men, but again they're quiet and unpretentious about it.
Same with beauty. Just like true wealth, it's quiet, it whispers. I have no need to talk about it or even mention it. Including who designed my dress or shoes or the handbag I carry. It doesn't add to my value as a human being, so there is no need to, imo.
I am not judging women who do, to each her own. In fact I have a friend who, every time we get together, she asks what designer am I wearing. I often don't even know honestly, and she will actually check the label! It's not who I am but she's been a good friend for years so I just chuckle.
No wrong or right, just
different.
Anyway, sorry guys, back to topic.....
