It's known as "old money", not "old riches" and anyone who really is "old money", knows that; even many people who aren't.

And no, buying some generic supermarket brand, doesn't usually fit in with an "old money" chic. Unless,of course, it's the shabby chicness of of old money with only memories of the good life, from many decades past. The old guard, as well as the newer ones, of old money ranks, do it the old fashioned way...they use things until they fall apart.LOL

Those from old money,usually inherit the family summer house/s; they don't buy them.

But the articles aren't talking about old new money...it's about their perceived view of what constitutes an upper middle class lifestyle.

LOL !

Are you trying to be rude or just cheeky ?

Everyone from a lowly prole to an upper upper knows the expression "old money"

I was putting a cutesy spin on as not to sound noxious.

LOL
