Luxury Goods are not a waste. Let's put this into analogy that even you anime/vidya weebs can understand.

Let's assume Capitalism is a game (which it is) and you are forced to play. Your power level is directly proportional to your wealth (levels). By having more wealth (levels), you are able to access more parts of the game (social circles, various quests such as being able to enter certain buildings due to you being wealthy, or meeting new people). However, there are various forms of Gear/DPS checks that are out there. For example, if you are dressed and smell like a homeless person ( bad gear) you will be locked out of most of society and harassed by higher level players and NPCs who aggro to you. If you have better gear on, people assume you are "stronger" than them (you are) and you are able to access more because your gear is high enough to allow you to enter an area. However you still need points properly allocated (charisma / intelligence) in order to navigate those various areas / quests. You can purchase luxury goods such as speech lessons (private coaches), executive coaches (skill trainers), etiquette teachers (needs to help you enter very high social circles) to help you level up those skills if you didn't roll them at a high enough % from birth.

By having these high stats, you are then able to get better loot and take on more quests which furthers your power level. You can also group up (network) with other people who are high level as well.

> in b4 someone says rich people dress normally
This is both true and false. Rich people have subtle gear that can only be noticed by other wealthy people. You both may wear the same black shirt, but the wealthy persons shirt is well tailored (or "enchanted") so it fits them better, providing them with better stats. Look up the term "prole gap" for more information on this. There are so many things out in the world you autist don't know about because you stay in your basements.

You cannot directly (without having wealth) And this is intended. These things are commonly taught to those who attend elite boarding schools (used for grooming future elites) or are part of wealthy familes / circles. etiquette training is a common part of the elite skill set.

You don't necessarily have to join the "elite". Becoming independently wealthy still requires relying on other people, whether you like it or not. The reason why you make money on crypto is because the value of crypto is directly tied to the value other people place on it. There is no such thing as "independent wealth" in the truest sense of the word.

>>25033218

Real life isn't runescape. The difference betwen real life and runescape is that Runescape has a very clear system that is easily understood by the players because everything is documented.You are free to dress in shitty cheap armour in runescape because it doesn't have any real impact on your game play.

The real world does not operate in that manner. There isn't a wikipedia / docs page you can open that explains the underlying intricacies of the system. Humans are social creatures. Some things are only taught via tribal knowledge, which requires entrance to the circles that contain that knowledge..

You clearly did not understand or catch the nuance within my post.

You're absolutely correct. Here is a study that talks about this
"Subtle Signals of Inconspicuous Consumption"
https://repository.upenn.edu/cgi/viewcontent.cgi?article=1244&context=marketing_papers

Here is a more easily digestible article that talks about this:
"https://www.bbc.com/worklife/article/20170614-the-new-subtle-ways-the-rich-signal-their-wealth"

TLDR: "This new elite cements its status through prizing knowledge and building cultural capital, not to mention the spending habits that go with it – preferring to spend on services, education and human-capital investments over purely material goods. These new status behaviours are what I call ‘inconspicuous consumption’. None of the consumer choices that the term covers are inherently obvious or ostensibly material but they are, without question, exclusionary."

See my above blurb. It's not just about material goods.

It's not that simple. You can become upper class but there are small subtle things that would immediately signal to others who are of the upper echelons of the elite that show that you are , to use a 4 chan term, a new fag.

Here is a simple test:
You and I are at a business meeting. The server brings you a cup of coffee or tea (your preference) and condiments for your tea/coffee (sugar/cream/etc). How do you properly add these amendments to your drink? What is the most polite manner of doing so?

Summarizing somewhat, there are more unspoken rules but here is what I remember from etiquette class:

When adding things to your drink you are free to add whatever you want however you should not do the following:
1. Do not stir your drink by doing the thing where people rapidly stir there drinks by spinning a coffee spoon / stirrer around in a rapid circle.
A. It is an inefficient way to mix a drink. Sugar dissolves quicker if you go in a slower precise manner by mixing in a hatch format. The sugar crystals will quickly dissolve after doing a few motions of this.
B. You create noise by potentially clinking your spoon on the glassware. It's uncouth and unslightly.
C. You run risk of spilling your drink, which is also unsightly.

Someone with proper etiquette training can immediately figure out your class just by watching you mix your coffee /tea

You are still consuming, you are just not spending any money doing so. You can easily get an elite education (to an extent) by perusing free online resources such as MITX or HarvardX. However this is all technical knowledge, there is still nuance that has to be communicated in person. That nuance is what separates them from you.

It's all about relationships at the upper levels. Not skill sets.

Yes. But one thing to keep in mind (circling back to the nuance issue that I keep mentioning), is knowing WHEN is the proper time to signal. The problem with "nouveau" rich is that signal at improper times. The problem with "academics" is that they signal by using highly intellectual words at the improper times.

If you are meeting with a random every day person, your knowledge of how to properly stir tea is not going to help you in that circle. if anything it will work against you because that circle with treat you as a pariah because you are acting "different".

Knowing when to use signals is a skill that is also taught to the elite. A modern every day example of this is how politicians speak to their constituents. Politicians speak at a lower grade level because the common people can all relate to the language. When they are speaking to their inner circles, they use more complex words and speech with complex underlying meanings.

No one likes to feel stupid. This is the most important thing that autists need to remember. Showing of your "intellect" is the lowest IQ thing you can do.

NEVER make people feel stupid... ever.

Good question. Joe Rogan is not who I would consider "Elite". I think the question to ask here is "Who signs Joe Rogans pay checks?" Joe rogan is a former athelete, thus part of the "Serving Class' (Provides entertainment). He has money but he is not "Elite" by any true measure of the word.

I don't consider random to be an insult. Random is simply an unplanned event or thing. If I bump into a person on the street and strike up a conversation with them, they are considered to be a random person who I'm partaking in a random event with.

I do, however, see your point. Hopefully my explanation above clears that up.

This is an interesting take, albeit confusing. Where did you even learn this? I'm honestly curious.

Elite to what you are referring to is someone who influences policies, have meetings with heads of state and has luncheons with multiple c executives because he has a vested interest.

LMAO at everyone taking shit to the manners poster. Literally everything he has said in this thread is true. One of my best friends is a member of a European old money family (for example, there is a street named with his family name in a European capital city), and he has tried to teach me some of this. He also can immediately pick up on if someone else is from the same background as him or not. What is annoying is that it is a bit tedious to try to gain these skills as an adult, as they were forced on him his whole life as a kid at home and at his private school. If you only know some of the tricks, then fuck up on a different one, it may make you look like an even worse poseur. If you literally are trying to only trade or become crypto rich, yeah you can ignore, but for anyone who actually is attempting to work up in finance, entertainment, business, ESPECIALLY internationally, these skills and knowledge are absolutely crucial.

Manners poster, I have watched quite a bit of the info I can get from YouTube, do you know any more sources or books that could potentially provide me with more? A lot of the stuff online is dedicated to manners particular to women, which is not super helpful.

The difference is new money vs old money. Joe Rogan came up as a fighter and entertainer, that does not mean he would be accepted into the social circles being mentioned here. In the US, being descended from something like the DuPont, Kennedy, Roosevelt families would really be the "elite," and in Europe these lineages go back much, much further. Most money =/= highest social status in the US or outside of the US, but being high status and having these skills often allows one to become rich, even when big money isn't inherited or has become more diffuse as the family has become larger.

You used your first post on attempting to refute my point by talking about tailoring an H&M shirt, and didn't bother to understand the underlying meaning of what I was saying....

Let's try this again. I'll try to make this simpler for you.

You get an H&M shirt tailored. To the naked eye it looks like any old black shirt.

I go to lord and taylor and buy a $500 black shirt, I do not need to get it tailored to make it look fancy.
The feel of your shirt is rough and your shirt degrades quickly because it's of lower quality. Your shirt has exposed seams and poor stitching because it crafted poorly.

My shirt does not.

These are small details that can be noticed by people who are trained to see them.

Modern day example: google "what a tie hand is". It's a way to describe the quality of a tie.
Make sense?

So me getting kicked out of certain circles happened at the corporate level at a multi billion dollar corporation. I was a young hot head that managed to land in the good graces of upper management due to a weird restructuring that happened I was a new grad that was reporting directly to a C suite due to the company undergoing massive changes. Due to me being one of their direct reports, I was able to attend meetings with other upper level executives, who were direct reports of the C Suite, and thus learned how executives really operate at higher levels I've seen alot of really fucked up shit. Executives really do treat employees like literal slaves The term wage slave is not a joke.

Anyway that executive left and another restructure happened, and new management came in. I thought that I still had the same level of "power" due to being a report of that other executive that left in the past..Boy was I wrong.

I got burned hard. I had an entire business unit of about 1000 people turn on me, with their executives trying to burn me at stake for them failing on a project that I was involved with. I tried to use direct language to communicate (because I was used to doing so due to me having the backing of the old C-suite). And this was a mistake. My words (directness) didn't have the same power as before, and I did not have the power to back up the words.

The other business unit VPs/directors set me up, by the time I realized what happened, all of my political capital at the company was gone and no one trusted me (who was a high enough level to know my past history and protect me) with anymore multi million dollar projects. I was ostracized, treated like a pariah and pretty much was forced to resign.

Had I played the indirect game and learned their tactics I might have survived... I've carried this lesson with me to every company I joined after.. It has served me well/.

I don't mind, I'm generally confused at some of the points made by people who are attempting to insult me with less than 1 post. They are cherry picking statements without reading the full thread. They are treating this thread and my individual post as if it was a twitter statement without reading the additional context in the thread (We are over 150 posts now). In a way, they are helping to prove my point about not having an elite education. Reading comprehension is an important skill set to have.

As for your question.. This is context based and really depends on the situation. I guess from a financial -thinking standpoint, nouvaeu rich will buy a flashy new car under their personal name and take out a loan on the car. An elite rich would buy the car under their business, write off the car as a business asset, and then donate the car to a non profit that they own, and then write off the car again, thus making the car free after utilizing multiple financial / tax loopholes. (This is very simplified and american specific).

I feel like there's something that should be said about exploiting autists' effort in the Information Age rather than conventional publications as well. You get the manpower of a thousand people for the price of nothing.

Interesting. I know you said wealthy and elite are 2 different connotations due to difference in social connection and old power.

Where do the elites stand usually (for i assume they are not just one family kek) in politics? To what extend do their talks, connections and lobbying affect the political power and what we see on Tv for candidates today?

Yeah that's intended. Calling out individuals should only be done in certain contexts. In some cultures, this is an absolute no no (See Chinese: And Saving Face Culture).

I pick up on power talk as well, the problem is that I'm jaded and tired. I stopped caring about ladder climbing. unfortunately, due to the system we all live in, everyone else is playing the game while you aren't. This makes you different, a non conformist, and this is seen as dangerous. The system only has power if people use the system. If people start rebelling and ignoring the system then the people who are at the top of the system lose their power, and they most certainly do not like that. They unfortunately have the power to use the system you are trying to rebel against to crush you.

>>25037037
Yes and No. I think the Wallstreet Journal is a better publication. With that being said, you should read multiple publications so you can be exposed to multiple view points. From there you can make your own decision.

>>25037043
I cannot provide you with a non superficial answer to that question. I'm not part of those inner circles. But what I can tell you is that those connections and lobbying power have a major effect. The issue is that I cannot begin to articulate how far that power expands and ripples across multiple parts of society or the world. I just don't have the insight or the exposure.

This information is only useful if you're trying to impress a wealthy baroness or become a courtier. Real life isn't Barry Lyndon and we don't live in a feudal society. *Maybe* certain elements of the upper class in England care about this shit but the majority of people making big money moves nowadays absolutely don't.

Fair.
I would like to say that, provided that your posts are accurate and this isn't an elaborate LARP, the mannerisms and new ways to "break in" to the elite aren't really difficult. Materialism was one of the great barriers for actual poorfags but even an upper-middle-class pleb like me can fulfill many of the requirements you laid out. It's kind of surprising, really.

Apologies, I edited what I'd originally written and didn't proof read afterwards.
I don't call people out (I did when younger) but I will bring up the true meaning of what someone said later to peers at my level, who dismiss what I say as rubbish.

We sound very similar. I grew up with ideals of what the world should be like which turned me cynical which led to me being jaded and tired like you say. I usually just live in libertarian mode of leave me be and I'll let you play your little games, until they try them on with me then I suddenly get a bout of energy and expose the house of cards that is their illusion of power.
Like you say, they have the system behind them and as I've got older and gained more of an idea of where I want to be (financial independence) I just play along for my own self-preservation as doing what I was doing would just lead to unemployment or even prison.

Nietzsche had me pondering on if I'm just a noble spirit amongst the wrong class of people and brought up in the wrong environment. Thankfully there's the internet now.

I've found I'm more willing to play when I get good sleep and take Vitamin D and Ashwagandha, plus obviously exercise which admittedly has been neglected due to gyms being closed. Maybe give that a shot if you haven't already?

I use a measuring spoon, the bag has measuring spoon to gram(s) guide directly printed on it.

Politicians are some of the strongest "Players" in the game. Using another tech/game analogy.

Law is basically source code of the system that we participate in. You as a player of the game and being subject to the system are directly impacted by the source code and have to follow the source code. Politicians have the ability to change the rules of the game, thus in a way they have alot of power. However, people can be influenced by various means (money incentives otherwise). Just because you write the rules of the game doesn't mean you don't have to follow said rules. And so it's kind of like an endless cycle of having power but being corrupted by your own power.

You can choose not to follow the source code but as I mentioned before, if you attempt to do so you are punished (socially, punitively, financially) etc etc.

I'd agree with that as a more objective and neutral view of them. Even a good way of explaining it to someone who might want to choose that path.

I personally find they are akin to customer service reps. A buffer for the real powers if you will. They can tweak the system here and there to keep the customers satisfied and keep order, but at the end of the day are still at the whim of the people who pay their wages (lobbyists).

It's an interesting observation that the more one attempts to escape the system and eventually come to the realisation there are no rules, the more one is found to be playing along with the rules. A more willing participant rather than just letting life happen to them.

It's very hard to overcome your poor upbringing despite the accumulation of status symbols. Interacting with old money people is bizarre.

Hmm. My mother used to be quite wealthy. She'd fuck things up massively, and lost most of it. But growing up she refused to send me to regular school(mostly just teaching me herself, which was very ineffective). She put an extreme pressure on me to learn many etiquette rules I found quite odd or outdated. She always refereed to common people in an almost chattel context(but was extremely two faced in this and was able to change the way she handled herself on a whim for the context) and hated me mingling with them as a kid. Sometimes she'd even go so far as to subtly imitate the accent of whomever she was talking to on the phone, if she was trying to close some sort of deal, I laughed my fucking ass of at this - but I think it actually worked half the time.

Mirroring is a highly effective tool.

As someone who's common class (working class in britain) I'd say the people around me are very much like chattel. I don't necessarily say that negatively (although I know others will see it in such light). Give them a purpose and give them orders and majority will fall into line.

Yeah, that's the natural structure of human society. an Aristocracy may as well be a biological phenomenon, like leaders of pack. No ideology will ever get rid of them, just re-name them and maybe kill the old ones. I have a cool story, though. My mother basically raised me as an employee. She thought it would instill discipline in me - or something - but I think she literally thought of me as an employee after a while, but that's irrelevant. I was on a job site with loads of contractors, and was a fascination to alot of these guys because I didn't fit in very well, but loved the technical aspect of construction(I was early teens). Anyway - I liked to observe the contractors and hear about their life stories. I meet this tile dude, and he was excellent at installing huge marble or granite slabs for hotels or whatever - but in conversation he was inept because of his junkie speech patters. IIRC, it was cocaine and adderal - but anyway, he has written this whole fucking political mannifesto and I sit down with him and he discusses with me his model of society. He sees, and admits, that he does not have the mental capability to escape his status at the bottom of his hierarchy, (chattel), and that was his greatest regret in life. His main reasoning behind this was that he was easily manipulated into consumerism and spending any money he made from his company - which he'd defunct'd for cocaine money - combined with an inability negotiate for shit. He wanted me to talk to his daughter, who he had reserved hundreds of thousands of dollars for - to send to a private school, "so she could get a glimpse of the world outside her class". Cool guy.

Precisely. Iron law of oligarchy etc. No matter what ideology is implemented, humans will naturally gravitate towards some sort of leader.
Regarding your story, it's nice to see that people are waking up to their position and taking action. It doesn't sound like the guy was mentally incapable but just lacked the willpower to overcome his consumerism and push towards "being his best self" atleast he'd come up with a plan to give his offspring the best opportunity he could.
I've still plenty of time myself to end up higher up the hierarchy. But even if not, like that guy, I hope to atleast set the foundations in place for if I ever have kids.

Being a social butterfly (or chameleon as I always heard it) is easy when you think of yourself in an environment where everything you say and do is to achieve an end goal. Sure, these environments can take a lot of energy, since maybe you don't get the opportunity to let your guard down, but they shouldn't be bothersome. Separate work and academia from genuine relationships. At least for me personally, there is no fun in a relationship with someone if I cannot display 90% my true thoughts and opinions.

Yes, I am with you in this. My friend who has incredible social skills has tried to teach me some tips on this I have found very helpful.
1 Never make someone else feel stupid (mentioned above)
2 Let the other person "win" at least 1/3-2/3 of the time. This means resisting the autistic urge to correct people or "be right," to give up some ground when it doesn't matter to allow the other person to feel good and build some rapport.
3 I feel I can already do this, but instead of being autistic and not being able to look people in the eyes, I stare way tok much right into peoples eyes. In a situation where people are drinking and having fun, this stops being weird and people feel you really care about what they have to say.
This being said, I still feel most relationships I have are mostly transactional, and I can only speak how I want with about 5-6 very close friends.

this is more applicable in europe where people pick up on things like that. in america most extremely wealthy people are still only first or second generation wealth, old money is not as influential as in other places and therefore etiquette (at the levels youre speaking of i.e. which fork to use) is not really applicable. plus old money, american or otherwise, are all huge faggots and the worst kinds of people that you don't want to hang around unless you have absolutely zero personality or are a social climbing drone with your only ambition being to swallow as many loads as possible to become accepted by people who will never see you as their equal.

>>25041297
I'd prefer to think of it as socially adaptable. Chameleon would imply I'm making an actual attempt to blend in whereas I'm just being myself within a given situation. This can either be eccentric and carefree or more quiet and reserved depending on the situation and whom.
It just seems I prefer discussing systems/ideas over people/relationships. Although I can do both.

I was raised in an "upper-class" household (although not rich, crucial distinction) in Europe and I do recognise most of the mannerisms that are referenced here, as well as the various details that people have brought up on the subject of attire.

Another thing that hasn't been discussed here yet is that there really is "secret" knowledge that is discussed in these so-called elite circles, but it's not about what you think. I cannot even begin to describe the kind of status-games that goes on in these circles with things like club memberships, knowing people close to the royal family in whatever country you're based in, and the various "secret" societies that is really a bunch of old soggy men finding excuses to get away from their wives for a night of camaraderie and alcohol (yes, I am a member of a couple).

What I can say though is that it is very, very, very obvious when someone is faking it and you can almost always tell on their body language as well as the way they dress. There are a lot of details that are rarely mentioned online or in books which is usually passed down to you from your parents.

And also, the number one rule is never, ever, ever discuss wealth under any circumstances. Business is fine but bragging is pathetic and there will always be an old-money asshole with far more money than you so there really isn't any point to brag in these circles.

Ask me anything I guess.

It's called optionality maximization, Taleb talks about it in a way. Being around rich/successful/connected people, or even being in the same places they hang out (art/culture events/festivals, top end gyms, private clubs, top restaurants, business class flights between NY and LA) puts you in situations where something good could happen. Be in those places and try to start up natural conversations without looking like you are trying to network.

Also, >>25031252 is 100% correct and the people seething against it are either jealous, underage, or are eternally cursed to be a pleb and will never gain the appreciation of those that really run the world.

The key here is that you can still be an edgy contrarian, just be subtle about it and make sure to continue to do all the rituals and wear the right clothing at the right time so you maintain your social "status".

Hint: the SV techbros that wear hoodies everywhere and cannot behave properly, while rich, are NOT respected in old-money circles and there are A LOT of doors that are closed to them.

What are the weirdest strange rules that are not obvious manners? A friend of mine mentioned there are some words you are never supposed to use. Actually name some and I'll see if this is larp or not.
What secret clubs are actually real/influential and what ones are fake? I could imagine some in the US, but if you are in Europe I may not be familiar.
Name some body language or manners that aren't listed in any book, as this would be most useful for people who can figure out the basics. I have no belief that I would ever be able to fake this kind of upbringing, but I think that people appreciate the manners as a sort of social lubrication of not annoying one another.

Not sure how it is in the U.S. but club memberships is the #1 signalling mechanism of where you are in the upper-class pecking order in the UK and most Commonwealth countries. You simply cannot become a member of the most exclusive ones without knowing people and being "approved" by the already existing members, even if you are a billionaire.

I do not want to dox myself but my father (who in his best years MAYBE had a max 7-figure NW) who used to be on the governing committee at a very reputable club actually rejected a billionaire because the candidate lacked taste and was incredibly ostentatious.

Another thing, to become a member at a good club you usually need to be proposed by an already existing member and be supported by a varying number of other members depending on the club (usually it's one other person, but can be up to 30-40 in the most exclusive ones). The catch is that if you are rejected you are effectively permabanned from the club and the person that proposed you needs to resign as well out of convention. It is a very good safety mechanism to ensure that people who do not belong never become members.

Can't think of any off the top of my head but one good one is to never refer to a restroom as a "toilet". Never, ever, ever use the word "tuxedo", that is a sure-sign of a low-class person who is larping hard. The proper word is "black tie" or "dinner jacket".

There are countless examples and it really depends on the context but these are the big ones.

>What are the weirdest strange rules that are not obvious manners?

The knot of tie you use and its pattern is a very telling way to see if someone has taste and is part of the club or not. Four-in-hand is the only acceptable tie knot and using any variant of the Windsor knot makes you look like a used car salesman larping as an aristocrat. Never use striped ties because they (at least in the Commonwealth and particularly the UK) are almost exclusively reserved for people who have attended a particular institution. See pic related for Eton's tie.

I can guarantee you that if you wear a tie like this and are in the right circles someone will ask you which boarding house you lived in (or if a club tie, who else you know at the club), and if you say you just picked it up online and don't know what it means you are going to get blacklisted as a disgusting poser by the person you've been speaking with.

Well the club signaling is something I can see; I was invited to a club and had met some of the board but it shut down due to the wuflu and shit economic conditions we already had for 5 years prior. It definitely wasn't a super exclusive club, but I at least know what you're getting at.

So TLDR don't look like a mongoloid, don't pose, and see which clubs you can get in. Sounds easy enough so long as you understand the etiquette

If you really do want to break into these circles I would recommend going to classic "elite" holiday destinations when things open up again and talking to the right people at nightclubs. Many of these people are normal people and you can find one or two fellow autists in the crowd, including many that browse this god-forsaken website. Watch out for the nutjobs and coke-addicts, as well as the others who larp as rich people. Here be sharks.

I'm a poorfag and haven't been in any such circles but my overall observation has been that people who come from wealth simply don't take things as seriously as I. Any sign of naive interest or passion almost seems childlike and newfaggy for them. They're so ahead in life experiences (having girls, making decisions, having everyone look up to them, etc.) that they can't but cringe at anyone who hasn't gotten past the stage of still taking things seriously due to a severe lack of experience.

They'll speak in tongues during social interactions and will aim for personal enjoyment in the form of sarcasm or clever wordplay or outright mocking you while you're very seriously trying to push through a serious discussion. You'll never be on the same level with them, they can just run circles around you. They will never take what you say seriously and the best chance of impressing them is getting better at their own game. Regardless of what you otherwise accomplish, they'll always see you as a puny little naive child.

I'm not sure if this goes for girls from wealth, though. Girls seem much more easily impressed by simple confidence. Naivete even seems charming to them. Childlike spark.

It's just a lifetime of the ability to really interact with the world. The ability (not guarantee) to get what you want. By the time you're passionately talking about the news you just read or the idea you had, they've basically "been there done that". They've made the news, they've had the money. They've had the hottest girls hit on them, they've had their drug ridden parties, cool toys to play with, smart people to brush shoulders with. Basically they've done it all and bored of it by now. Any unadulterated interest, emotion, one way or the other simply shows how much below them you are.

They couldn't relate to you even if they wanted. You're literally (objectively) a child compared to them in that regard.

There was nothing but observation in my post. No value assessment.

That said, there's no point in pretending their life isn't the goal. The point isn't mere emulation (except for practical necessity in some situations), but an attainment of existence whereby your experiences give you the ability to remain cool at all times.

The only real drawback in how they are is that their carelessness may translate into complacency. That is a major reason why the bourgeoisie has always been historically and politically inert. Their careless removes their ability for struggle. That is something you want to keep in mind, once you get into the dangerous territory of noveau riche.

Me personally I’ve always been more of a rough type of guy whos worked physical jobs, didn’t finish high school, ive always dressed casual, now id often dress like I’m still 21, I don’t even know anyone rich and I’m from a modest regular poorish family. But I’m working on bringing some class to myself, more for my kid and future kids then myself as it’s mostly too late for me, any advice on how to do this when you wouldn’t even know where to begin? I guess carrying yourself better with dressing, speaking and acting well is the start. I wanna be a good role model for my family and ideally expose them to bigger thinking/ideas which is what I feel is lacking in the middle/lower class and maybe my next gen can get a few steps closer then I got.
