  Your lessons are good, but it’s not the rich who live by these rules, it’s the old school people, aristocracy, royalty. &nbsp;You can be rich and have terrible manners. &nbsp;Its not the money in your bank it’s your upbringing.

  It’s not about money, it’s about being considerate and polite

  &quot;Just because you have money doesn&apos;t mean you have class&quot;

  I would add another sign of good manners. &nbsp;That being to refrain from foul or coarse language. &nbsp;Nothing screams classlessness like a rude vocabulary.

  The essence of etiquette is respect for others, and class is not a matter of money.

  I once had a job where I worked with Old Money. &nbsp;Yes. Class is not showing off, making others comfortable, being relaxed. You feel so accepted and graciously welcome around them. &nbsp;After all, they feel no need to prove anything.

  I grew up around manners, mainly my fathers dad. &nbsp;He was a cowboy. &nbsp;He removed his hat upon meeting someone and it always came off indoors. &nbsp;This was something i observed before i was old enough to go to school. &nbsp;He also treated people the way he wanted to be treated and was remembered fondly by so many people because of that. He was not rich and barely had the money to be called middle class. &nbsp;The thing is, he had class and manners, not money.

  Be yourself, be genuine, be polite - this always goes a long way with people. &nbsp;Most people have a good internal BS meter and a genuine person will always be accepted.

  We were not Old Money but my dad was Old South. &nbsp;I&apos;m over 70 now and a couple things I remember were: stand up when an elderly person enters the room (it&apos;s from Leviticus 19:32), and men don&apos;t wear hats indoors (that&apos;s just about gone). &nbsp;My mother said that a handshake should be initiated by a woman.

  in my twenties i read a book on social etiquette because i had made some major manner mistakes at a few gatherings (raised by wolves). though nothing was said to me at the time, because all the party guests had class and were polite, i could tell i had unwittingly done something rude. since then, between the book and social observation, i have become more confident and feel relaxed in any social situation now. good manners make it easier to navigate community. my favorite learned manner was figuring out when to leave a dinner party at a polite timeframe. it made perfect sense -- roughly, when the second cup of coffee is offered. never knew.
