Reply #35: It depends on the person [View All]

I have known heirs of Old Money (old as in "since the Renaissance") who were wonderful, generous people. I have known people who worked their asses off to get to rich who were also wonderful, generous people. I have also known many wonderful and generous lower-class and poor people. I have, unfortunately, met plenty of idiots, asses, and twits from every class and financial status.

The only generalizations I'd be willing to make based on socio-economic status are that the first generation to grow up wealthy usually needs to be taught repeatedly that money isn't everything; and that good-looking women who marry older upper-middle-class men for their money are the most self-centered, arrogant people in the world.
