Old Money, New Money, and Everybody Else

Everyone everywhere are in different financial situations.  People could have old money, new money, no money, and everything in between.
Old money refers to people who belong to upper class families who have inherited their families money over generations. In The Great Gatsby, Tom and Daisy Buchanan have old money.  They live in East Egg, the more elaborate of the Eggs, in a "white Georgian mansion overlooking the bay.  The lawn started at the beach and ran toward the front door for a quarter mile, jumping over sun-dials and brick walls and burning gardens…The front was broken by a line of French windows, glowing now with reflected gold…" (Fitzgerald 11).  Fitzgerald portrays old money as people with grace, good taste, and elegance.  Though they are very sophisticated, they could care less about others.  Tom and Daisy seem careless, and never worry about others.
 In contrast to old money, new money, as the title suggests, was money made recently. In The Great Gatsby, Jay Gatsby, who lives in West Egg, is considered new money.  Opposite the Buchanan's, Gatsby is portrayed as having little to no grace or elegance.  Though he lacks class, he makes up for it by caring about others.  When he throws lavish parties for everyone to come, he rents shuttles to pick people up from his house and drive them to the train.
Though not payed much attention to, there is also a third theme of money in The Great Gatsby, the ones with no money, such as Myrtle and George Wilson.  Throughout The Great Gatsby there is a struggle between old and new money, leaving the ones with no money ignored and forgotten.  However they are not completely forgotten about since there is an affair between Tom Buchanan and Myrtle Wilson.
A major theme in The Great Gatsby is the struggle between old vs. new money, and which one is better.
