  Not old fashioned at all, and if it were why is that a bad thing?
  
  I am not talking about the assets or particular specific investments - although they do, actually, count as wealth, don't they. I am talking about the obvious (to most people...) love of acquisition that inhabits the very wealthy, the cut-off point from which ordinary life is a dim memory if that and acquisition and the propagation of further wealth becomes more important. In the less well off the "addiction to shopping" factor is similar. I have known many wealthy people - tootled about Datchet and thereabouts in my yoof with the fabulously wealthy and very famous (I was young and quite nice then!) and they really, genuinely, do have that love of money in common, on the whole. I don't think they have it stuffed under the bed - don't patronise me Barry - but in their heads I guess the same attitude is present for many. Not all.
