Giving the appearance of Wealth

Its far easier to acquire the kind of manners and good breeding that come along with a wealthy upbringing than it is to go back and change the way you were raised. Some pointers from Jill Spiegel, author of Flirting for Success: The Art of Building Rapport.

  • Always be well-groomed. Pay attention to your hair, nails and shoes.
  • Be gracious. To everyone. Speak calmly and kindly, says Spiegel, the great-great granddaughter of catalog merchant Joseph Spiegel. Rich people are too well-bred to be rude.
  • Dont discuss money. People with money dont need to mention what things cost, nor do they appear to care.
