"Big posh house, modest old car outside.
This, seriously rich people rarely show it off, you can usually add old jumpers with holes in too.
Yep, and no clothes with the brand in big writing!"
Why do you think big lux brand names often are very short, Gucci, Prada, Hermes Chanel......  |

"I hear that driving yourself in a rather old fashioned car eg. Old Landrover is a sign of lots of "old money" "
Nah, I had one. I'd thrown so much money at it, it was almost a new car. Just had to keep throwing more mobey at it. Until the clutch went again, only after 18 months. |

Back in the 80s when it was all Yuppies and Nouveau Riche I was advised by an elderly gent where I worked that if I ever came into money to treat myself to an old Jag, rather than a brand new one... then people would think I always had money. |

I once worked with someone who had a battered old phone constantly wedged between ear and shoulder (this was pre iphone era)- he was too tight to go and buy a new one....we finished the event and he told us he had to leave early as his jet was picking him up for a meeting (apparently he's worth in excess of half a billion  ) |

Trust me an old Jag is a very quick route to poverty! |

People who shop at Aldi but buy whole cratefuls of stuff.
People who live on council estates but drive BMWs.
People who order cocktails in J D Wetherspoon Bars

Hmmm….
I have an elderly Land-Rover parked on the driveway of my large Victorian house, I bulk buy from Aldi and my jumpers all have holes in them, in fact, most of my clothes are older than my children…
I must be loaded. |

That I am enlightened enough to understand that nature, the world and the universe is greater than humans and their quest for material wealth.
I am so much more richer than the majority of humans in the western world and beyond.
