DW and I live in a modest house in a nice neighborhood, drive 10-year-old compact cars, and both know our way around dryer sheets. I absolutely envy, though, the guys I see wearing real Tommy Bahama aloha shirts -- dang those are good-lookin' shirts. Ihave to settle for the JC Penney or Kohl's versions.....
I don't care about looking rich, I just want enough money to never have to work another day in my life. I like looking like I don't work, what ever that looks like.
I've always used the phrase 'nickel millionaire' to refer to the people who want you to THINK they're wealthy.
Does genuine Schmidt bib overalls from Tractor Supply and a nice 20 year old pickup with a rusty tailgate and only one 'Yes I'm Grumpy' bumper sticker count as Patrician?
Only if you have a muddy quad loaded in the back
The way to look rich is to date an attractive, well dressed woman way younger than you
Ha
I recall, in the 70s, seeing James R. Schlesinger on one of the Sunday morning TV talk shows and Schlesinger was being grilled and as each question was being asked he would find some issue that needed attention on his pipe, especially relighting it. Then take a long bong-like hit and slowly exhale before then answering in a monotone that would have the questioner looking dazed.
Why must I become a lesbian in order to look rich?

I think the article's author is confusing "money" with "class".
That's just the way it is. I hear it isn't half bad, either. No more forgotten birthdays or special celebrations. Flowers when something nice happens in your life, and flowers when you are feeling down. And last but not least, the toilet seat is never left up!Why must I become a lesbian in order to look rich?

Buy a plane ticket to Honolulu and then get a ride to the Pearl City Goodwill. Your chances are pretty good-- maybe two or three out of 500. But if you score, it'll only cost you $7.99 (plus your "shipping & handling fees"). Except on Tuesday when military get a 10% discount.I absolutely envy, though, the guys I see wearing real Tommy Bahama aloha shirts -- dang those are good-lookin' shirts.

Yes, and let me tell you about him. He is different from you and me.Maybe it's just me...but when I see a man wearing all white, it makes me think they are rich assuming there's not some clue to the contrary. White pants (bright white), white shirt, white deck shoes. Must be a stereotype from some movie I saw.
And I bet he had a smirk on his face as soon as he left the command...WARNING TO NAVY TYPES: This is a "sea story."
But, unfazed, the SecDef kept the matches.
