These terms have been on many people’s lips lately, but in a way that’s too superficial for my taste. They treat it as if it were just a fashion trend, but it’s not.
Of course, everything can be treated with the greatest superficiality or in depth.<\/p>\n

From the studies I’ve done, theOld<\/strong> Money<\/strong> attitude <\/strong> has a very different origin from that of New Money<\/strong>. The latter comes from the mentality of the hunter, while Old Money comes from that of the farmer.
The mentality of the hunter<\/strong> is one of aggression and the daring to live almost without a past or a future, because wherever he goes he catches whatever prey there is and uses his feathers, ivory or fur to decorate himself, showing everyone how successful he is in taking advantage of the opportunities that come his way. In centuries gone by, we had both the hunter and the fisherman, but also the pirate or the thief or the cocotte, in the Paris of the Belle Epoque, proudly displaying all the trophies he had taken from his latest prey. <\/p>\n

The farmer’s mentality<\/strong> also included courage and aggression, but tempered with a great deal of prudence, as he felt an enormous responsibility towards his community. The community was very large, containing his extended blood family, plus the adopted family of those who were raised as family members, plus a legion of servants and temporary workers. The leader’s responsibility was enormous because he had to (like a father = boss and the like) feed and clothe so many people, help them organize their lives, preserve the crops and seeds from one year to the next and so much more. Of course, the farmer also hunts down the opportunities that life offers him, but he lives very thoughtfully with his meager habits. <\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\t\t

This also includes the duty to preserve the functional heritage for the next generation who will inherit it.
Even Old Money clothes have such a uniform style because when you buy such high quality pieces they need to have a timeless style, as they too will be inherited.<\/p> <\/div>\n<\/div>\n\n

During the 20th century, a princess lost her husband in a terrible accident and his beautiful Italian suits turned up years later, worn by their children when they were old enough and big enough to wear them. Another case was a great Italian industrialist who for decades had been considered the most elegant man in the world and whose closet was inherited by one of his nephews (the one with the most similar measurements and who obviously looked the best) who soon became another of the “most elegant men” with ease.
This subject is endless and fascinates me, but we must stop here. <\/p>\n

Tell me about your doubts and other issues you’d like to see addressed here. Yes? <\/p>\n
