Old money: rich over generations
New money: rich because of luck, gold digging, and the money is new and fresh out of the bank!
It's really funny because I was actually talking about old money and new money with my dad. Let me explain. I was saying how that range rover he saw on the street driven by a thirty year old is probably new money because he probably became rich through a job. I was also explaining old money, on how money could be passed down throughout several generations. And then my dad asked me: what are we? No money. He laughed because he knew it was true! I am part of the "others" because I am not rich. I can't own everything as if it was free like some other people- like in Gatsby. I love these terms because it really has great symbolism for how people are identified.
