Your symbolism entries help me so much - symbolism is a weakness of mine & you help me get into the mind frame to dream up some of my own.

Thank you!

Thanks for the add, Bish!

Ralfast, you are exactly right! Culture has a huge influence on displaying wealth, as does 'old money and new', 'youth vs maturity', etc. Thanks for posting--these are great points to keep in mind.

Wealth is one of those things that varies widely between societies and eras.

For example, in Japan, wealth can be measured by how much space you actually own, since most people live in cramped apartments in and around cities. So empty space shows off how much actual wealth you have, since you can acquire and leave it as is which is something most people can't afford to do.

Also there is a difference between the new rich and the landed gentry or old wealth. The first will tend to go out of their way to show off their new found wealth with conspicuous consumption and display (gold, large home and expensive cars) while old wealth will be more subtle yet try to impress the age, the status and position that the wealth secures.
