My idea for a new reality television show is “Keeping Away From The Kardashians”.
It follows an Old Money family as they live their lives in a productive, drama-and-drug free manner, probably somewhere on the east coast of the United States.
They espouse the Core Values I articulate in The Old Money Book. They are modest about their wealth and live discreetly. Their cars and clothes are old, but well kept. They are prominent, but do not seek fame for its own sake. Actually, they actively avoid the limelight.
They work hard. They give anonymously to charity and treat others, regardless of their station in life, with courtesy and respect. They encourage their children to read. They have dinner at the dinner table. Conversation is lively and informed. Family members are polite to one another.
I don’t know…now that I think about it, the concept probably won’t make good television. It’s probably one of those things that just works in real life.
Oh well.
