How cute... MANY DVC Members did not inherit their cash.... we WORKED for it. I'll let the "truly wealthy" laugh at us .
The way to GET truly wealthy is to save, spend wisely, and not walk away from a good deal. Also a good way to STAY truly wealthy . Reference Warren Buffet.
Worth noting: déclassé definition: "having fallen in Social Status" . What? My dear wife and I never HAD any "Social Status" .
I think you found the REAL snob(s) . Perhaps Norma Desmond? .
I ran into this type as early as High School. The "Rich Kids". A guy that worked in the fields was clearly beneath them....
Guess who got the PhD, and who ended up going to Junior College .
There's money, then there's old money & trust funds. Hard to imagine the 0's in those sorts of bank accounts, but I do know more than a few Buffys & Muffys that have managed to squander the portion they can touch.
Money is a tool, it cannot buy happiness, but it surely can afford you many opportunities others do not have.
BTW, I grew up & live in a working class town (across the moats & down the road) from a few of the richest enclaves in the state. I'm a serf, 2nd generation off the boat and right proud of it.
