Money as fiction - there's a deep thought.
On top of all that you've said there's the fiction that 'old money' is more worthwhile than 'new money'!
Old money according to many meant the people were decent, well mannered and had high morals.
NOT SO! I think those people just knew how to hide their base activities and nature, better AND they'd had much more practice.
Often people who had worked hard to make their own money were thought to be brash, outspoken and didn't care what others thought.
And so the fiction goes on.................
