Buying something which you cannot aford.

Hehe. Under the parameters of C4U sa pag-classify ng "Old Rich", pwede na pala akong i-classify as "Old Poor"

AFAIR, Si Packy was denied membership sa Manila Polo Club because he's just "new rich". Kung anak daw niya or apo ang mag-apply, baka pwede na.

nadinig ko nga yan... totoo pala.

siguro galit na galit si pacbisyoso...

may nagsabi sakin na
"bumibili ako ng mga branded sa GH, 168, 999 at tutuban!
peke ba yon?
hindi peke yun! class A nga eh!"

toiiiiink!

baka naman class AAA yun... peke ang class A lang

i define old rich as people who have carefully managed their wealth over many generations

i kinda agree with cathy re families whose businesses were established way back in the 1800s and early part of 1900s but if you apply that definition here you'd narrow them down to only a handful of families of Spanish descent

i'd say old rich here is wealth that has been in a family for at least 3 generations

that would include more families

a friend said you'd know you're talking to old rich when they hate talking about money (new rich TOTALLY LOVE talking about money)

I fall under this class too. With the way people are "spending" nowadays, kinikilabutan din ako kung minsan!

Yes because it is never proper to converse about finances outside of business. It is considered rude to ask or talk about salary diba. Those that have to prove something like to talk about money or stuff. I dont know if they are aware that it is against the rules of etiquette.

a lot of people didnt go to etiquette school

yeah its rude to talk about money and to them material things are... well... just that and nothing more. It's very evident if you came across with the old rich. they tend to keep quiet or just dismiss topics of finance.

[vinj]

Hahaha... class AAA? Baka battery yung binibili niya sa Dividudes.

nadinig ko nga yan... totoo pala.

Di daw siya makakaka-rub elbows with the Zobels and Elizaldes sa mga polo matches.

Marami ring riches to rags stories sa Sugarlandia no? Sa generation ng great grandparents ko, the youngest (legitimate) child who got the largest share of the mana ended up with almost nothing at the end of his life. The others made good and built their own businesses and continue to grow them up to today.

Buti pa kaming mga outcasts (yup, my line was considered outcasts back in the day), we made it on our own in Manila.

Hindi naman siguro old poor, old middle class may be apt enough. :D

This is something that I find so illogical din. I recently found out that fake designer bags sell for as much as 4k to 5k in Greenhills! Wow. You could buy a good brand bag with that amount of money with sukli pa.

well mas may dating parin kasi ang isang fake LV kesa sa isang genuine na di kilalang brand

totoo eto. my sister in law lives in davao may malaki sya negosyo dun and madami sya kilala na mayaman at nagmamayaman. she often go here in manila para bumili lang nang bags sa GH para ibenta nya sa davao.

madami daw bumibili sa kanya lalo na ang mga naging mayaman sa davao coz hindi naman daw nahahalata na fake yung bag nila pag sila ang may dala. basta wala lang daw hipuan tingin tingin lang.

may kasabihan nga na "you are what you wear"

Mali na kasi values ng tao ngayon. Instead of working on character, people prioritise working on being rich. We live in a money centric society na. I find nothing wrong in having ambition and wanting to be rich, in fact you'd have more capacity to help people when you have more money. It becomes wrong when people do immoral and illegal acts in their quest for wealth. It seems like people are valued now based on their looks and wealth not values and character.

Kaya ayan people do what they can to project wealth.

thats why people tends to buy things that they cannot afford. kasi dun sila mas nakilala.

* looks at office-issued clothes... Oh well, Better luck next time.

The thing with the pretenders and those who remain true to who they are, just give it time and lalabas at lalabas rin yan.

[holdencaulfield]

sa totoo lang importante ang credit card pag kakain kayo sa labas.
kasi
yung corners ng credit card

puwede niyong gawing toothpick.
try niyo!

akin hsbc at eastwest.

haha! with office clothes, it represents a cause and goal. Kaya others would get low to mid level watch and act like it's the next best thing to rolex.

Parang bumibili lang pala ng aso ang pagmember dyan sa Polo Club. Dapat titignan ang birth certificate kung ano lineage mo, kung champion breed ka tanggap ka.
