The Actual Signifiers of Wealth
Old money is not an aesthetic and the things that signify wealth like having a good robust emergency fund, a well-diversified investment portfolio, and even a good financial advisory, are things you normally wouldn't post on social media – yet these are the most common signifiers of creating generational wealth, which is the entire concept of old money.

When I went to college in a wealthy part of Colorado, I was able to blend in to a degree because a lot of the people there dressed super plain; working class. It was a style choice for them but I was doing it out of necessity😂
Was it really an active style choice or were they just wearing plain, comfortable clothing because they didn’t really care about fashion lol
@alexbennet4195 fair question. A bit of both I think. There was a laid back vibe to that area, and unlike where I come from, there was no pressure to flex how much you have to compensate because everyone already had it. But there was a trend to dress in old working boots and baggy stained dickies like you were a mechanic or something. Even though they were trust fund kids.
@@alexbennet4195 Not caring about one’s appearance to others is also a nonvisible sign of wealth.
The highest signifier of wealth is being able to commit crimes and not go to jail
💯
Yuuuup. I know someone personally who *should* have gone to prison for his major drug possession and DUI. Daddy got him out of it though. 😑
Also access to an unlimited line of no-questions-asked credit and no consequences for failing to pay it off.
That, and also in a broader sense they can afford to make mistakes and they can afford to fail.

Amen
Old money rich might appear to dress down, but they ain’t shopping at the Gap 😅
That’s how you know you’re rich…when your clothes are expensive, but people think you’re dressing down.
Yeszzzz!!
Recently I try to tell people: If you don’t have a full time butler, you are one of us. If your children never have to have a job, you are one of us. You have the same categories of problems. You just may have the luxury that 90% of people are complaining before you’ll have. Looking at wealth distribution that is not so much than you’ll think.
You hit the nail on the head: it’s not an aesthetic! Don’t trade your money for the appearance of having money, enriching someone else’s bank account in the process. You are being sold something when you buy into this nonsense. So glad I found this channel, this is the money talk people need.
Wish I knew this as a young adult. Between not having anything and wanting to be accepted, wasted so much money that could have done so much more for me 😢
YES, ‘living well below your means’ is absolutely the mark of true wealth!!
we watch all the same videos 😭
@@biboebbs624 You have exquisite tastes! 🙂 Have a great day
I do everything to look like a bum. Always comfy. No one bothers me or asks for money. That and a toyota really does make you invisible to people
VTSAX clothing brand incoming
🤣
I might take people more seriously if they were showing their credit score along with their aesthetic but I’m sure people would fake that too, lol. The gag is that in the age of surveillance technology true luxury is actually privacy.
This is spot on. Another thing I would add is that “old money” is characterised by the freedom to live one’s life without concern around what others think of whether or not you are wealthy. This last point defeats the whole old money aesthetic.
Or just stop trying to give a social impression by your purchases. Most of us aren’t looking at you, and if we do we are laughing.
The aesthetic is the middle class projection or idealisation of what they believe wealth looks like.
I remember when I was young, my dad told me that if people would honestly answer the question of ‘How rich is rich?’… According to him, most, if not all, of them would say: One dollar more!
Since then, I’ve been learning about the true meaning of ‘enough.’ So to me, the wealthiest people are the ones who know what enough looks like in their lives, regardless of how much money they have.
Well said. This is why inflation doesn’t really matter
My uncle is very rich on a normal person scale and he is one of the most frugal people I’ve ever met. The reason he keeps his money is because he doesn’t waste it.
My favorite wealth signifier: a kid just knowing that there’s enough money to pay for college.
Cosplaying as the people who keep us poor and overworking is the saddest sht I’ve ever seen
