You can cultivate an aristocratic attitude even if you never had that much money by USian standards. I mean, as much as we complain about medicine as a kafkaesque nightmare and nexus of inequality [1] it is a miracle not least vaccines, antibiotics, statin drugs, dental implants were never available to the richest people in the Ancien Regime. A character in a 18th century novel might spirit his lover away to Paris from the backwaters of France, now for the rest of us there is Ryanair. It's quite a healthy way to deal with elite overproduction. [1] https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mM5kKqUETbE&list=RDmM5kKqUETbE https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=mM5kKqUETbE&list=RDmM5kKqUET...
