‘No debt, buying stuff as they need it (without having to wait until payday, save up, etc.). Having money provides a degree of spontaneity that us non-rich can’t grasp.’

‘They always prefer to spend money rather than time. I was waiting in line for a music festival with a friend. A festival we already had tickets to. He realized that the “preferred” line was empty.
‘So he straight up bought everyone in our crew preferred tickets, just so we could jump the line. That was like the only advantage. We literally all ended up with two tickets, because he didn’t want to wait 20 minutes.’

‘I’ve cooked for a lot of rich people. There’s a big difference between people that grew up rich (born into money) versus the people that made something for themselves. Both are generally not going to be overly flashy if they’re actually rich.
‘People that are born into money usually don’t realize that most of the world is struggling so they’ll talk about their multiple homes, travel, and other expensive experiences like it’s normal conversation and like you should be able to relate because they bought the interesting “things” about them. Most likely they grew up sheltered and detached from reality.
‘I’ve noticed these people are pretty socially awkward and don’t have a lot of genuine friends in their lives so they’ll be REALLY tight with their immediate family. They’ll have some flashy things but it’ll be stupid expenses — a dumb sculpture, spending ridiculous amounts of money on their dog, a drug addiction, etc.
‘The people that earn their money are usually aware of the difference between them and most of the world. They can even still hold onto frugal tendencies. So it’ll be more subtle clues: jewelry (on a woman, look at their ring), name brand/designer clothes, bags, sunglasses, how their hair/teeth/skin look perfect, what kind of car they drive… they’ll usually have at least a couple nice things but overall look very “kept” and clean.
‘The biggest thing you’ll notice with this group is that they’ll usually be VERY giving to average people. Old clothes, extra food, “something they’ll never use” they’ll all go to you. Which is awesome. This group is the best of the two.’

‘Once had the luxury of flying business class for work. Every pod including me were fascinated by the novelty (photos etc) but not the rich dude just acted like he belonged there and went straight to sleep’

‘There’s a big difference between hiding it, like a lotto winner or a drug kingpin, vs just not showing it off. If you just mean not showing it off, you’re basically describing the idea of “old money’” vs “new money”.
‘The main difference is buying things that are expensive but not flashy, and not talking about them. You own a Rolex and a Mercedes because they’re well made, not because you want people to see you own one. Everyone you know owns one, it’s not special. So if you meet someone with expensive things who doesn’t bring them up, that would be a good sign.’

‘Their children are living in an expensive apartment, travelling a lot, have expensive hobbies, maybe even a severe coke habit. 1st gen rich are usually humble and not flashy. But that’s very rare with subsequent generations.’
