Coming from Europe I know what you are talking about. We usually call it noble families. Unfortunately old money, especially from former Iron Curtain were left with no money or a little money but with education, manners and class. It is more about family tradition and continuation, not about money.

[irisshalurhad]

I just realized that I have an old money personality, now just tell my bank account that!

[chadwyckoff]

Yep. That sums up my grandparents on both sides. I remember hearing "No" a lot as a kid when I'd ask for something from my grandparents. lol My grandmother drove the same 1954 Mercedes her entire life and it was kept in mint condition. If you asked her why she hasn't purchased a new vehicle she'd reply, "If it isn't broke, darling."

You missed the single most important thing. You mentioned it in your own earlier videos on wealth: "Rich people spend money to save time. They don't spend time to save money."

My mom was from a rich family, her whole life was quite upperclass until my father failed his business and was in debt. Even we re not exactly poor, but nobody would notice we re not rich either. My mother had eyes on quality, she didnt shop all the time but when she shopped, she shopped for only what she liked and usually they re expensive. She tooked great care of everything she owned though, and she always set her alarm at 3pm for noon tea until the last day she passed away...

Born lower class, living in apartments, hearing how poor we were daily. We were lucky at times to afford sleeves for me and my brothers shirts. Now 56 years later retired by applying old money wisdom. My biggest decision so far today is do I want to eat that 4th corndog or not. As far as Ivy schools my IQ is average lucky to get a High School diploma. I have enjoyed 3 of Byron Tully's books. Also a great read is Class by Paul Fussell.

This is why I suddenly get an allergy when I see the menu of the restaurant and it does not indicate the price... 🤣🤣🤣🤣

5:13 "old money protected their time" that is a very oxymoronic phrase. I'm going by that, thank you once again Alux 👍

So watching this video I realized I’m pretty much old money without the money and the lineage. Huh.

[ZER]

I figured that I come from a family like this. We don’t have an endless pool of money, but we were relatively wealthy. My ancestors were well-educated back in the times where women in the countryside barely get formal education because it was reserved for boys who get educated by monks in temples. They were able to send all their children to a prestigious university at the time, which was how my parents met through circles of friends and families. They also went through hardships as well. Grandparents spent days working for local people, dancing to different kinds of music at formal balls. They (and my parents) were also the most humble and respectful people. They were also frugal and passed down their inheritance to my parents, uncles and aunts in their will as lands and deposit. It influenced my upbringing on how I view money and now as an adult having encountered various kinds of people, I often notice certain personality traits that people who come from “new money” would show generally. When I was studying in university (where people from all sorts of background come together) I was often looked down on by the “new money kids” because I never carried a Chanel bag and I walked to class instead of driving a Mercedes. These kids mostly come from parents who just made it rich (sometimes running shady illegal businesses), and think the way dress is what “classy” means when they would have poor manners and be extremely snobbish. I have had someone called me poor right in front of everyone in a lecture. Now much time have passed and since I started working and building my own family with a well-established and good family man, I was able to retire my parents and live comfortably. My social circles include many affluent people (who are surprisingly much kinder and well-mannered than the former) The former group of people found out about my lifestyle and tried to befriend and suck up to me and my partner now. Some of them never made a good career despite having studied in prestigious schools. Many of them are in large amounts of debt from lavish spending. Some faked their entire lifestyle on social media and became an outcast in high society once they got busted for carrying fake bags or scams. It’s almost as if they have forgotten what they did and how poorly they have treated me in the past. But I never forget. Treat everyone as how you want to be treated.

My momma always said, “Don’t flaunt your wealth. The people who matter know. And those that don’t know don’t matter.”

[billysinge]

My mother’s family were Welsh aristocrats, now the money’s mostly gone, my dad’s a businessman, we live in a size-able but suburban house. My family still have manners, class, are well-dressed, well-spoken, I go to a private school.

[glam.nidhi.sharma]

Almost everything mentioned here is true cuz I know some crazy rich asian families and I'm learning a few things from this video about them

[raynaldtorres]

Imelda Marcos once said....:"Nouveau rich is better than not rich at all"

[pagesculptor]

In Alaska, 90% of old money is the person in bunny boots and carharts that city people would write off as looking impoverished. But live here long enough and you can tell by the way they carry themselves and howany people know them.

[morganwin]

Buying things that last and keeping them is very true, my aunt and uncle live in an old money neighborhood and the one couple in the neighborhood who have the most money have a few cars but non are newer than 10 years but they only have Mercedes, Porsche, Bentley, and Rolls Royce.
