Don’t worry about dressing in all designer clothes. Look for a few high-end items in resale shops or discount stores, and keep the rest of your staple items clean and pressed. Have your nails and hair done professionally. Manicured nails and a professionally cut, colored, and styled do is important to propagating the illusion of money. Hit the gym and watch what you eat. Although true rich people come in all shapes and sizes, you can create envy by looking as hot as possible. Tone your body in the gym 5-6 days a week. Eat vegetables, lean proteins, and whole grains.
Nicknames that sounds like they belong to baseball players (such as Chuck or Gordy) can actually sound like wealthy names. Names that sound old-fashioned (like Benjamin, Alistair, or Bernadette) can make it sound like you come from old money. Think of ways to slightly alter your existing name, such as using Christopher over Chris, or going by your last name.
Try a country club. If you are going for “old money” consider going for the country club haunt. Unfortunately, you will need to find someone to get you in, so scan your list of wealthy friends and find reasons to hang with them when it’s time to play mixed doubles. Check out restaurants or clubs. This may take some planning, but securing the “reserved” table or area at a club screams, “I have money!” Reserve the VIP table at the hottest club in town and order Grey Goose and grapefruit juice–the drink of the money gods. Visit vacation spots. Head off to Club Med, Aruba, Hawaii or the Hamptons: wherever you could possibly catch Megan Fox or Brad Pitt sunning themselves on the beach. You don’t have to stay in a five star hotel, either. Many hot and happening places offer affordable accommodations.
