I think this is what The Great Gatsby was about. It is also possible to spend nearly (same O() but maybe different constant factor) as much on t-shirt and shorts as an Armani suit. Plus the fit of the clothes matter almost more than the brand. But I think the biggest difference is that people who grow up rich often have this ineffable sense of ease with the world.

- blaser-waffle 6y agoIn the modern west, actual blacksmithing is comparatively rare and niche. "Check out my bespoke wrought iron cuff-links", etc. Put them on the floor of a McDonalds in a questionable neighborhood -- that's where they'll get nervous.
