Question:

Do you have to be rich to be cultured?

Best Answer - Chosen by Asker: Absolutely not. Anyone can be cultured, if they choose to take the time to learn to be so. My father was by no means filthy rich, and he was very cultured. And he raised us to be so as well. We learned manners, decorum, other ethnic ways of life, etc. And this was also by choice. Many people are not open minded, so they tend not to immerse themselves in different things. I think learning other things gives someone a worldly aspect to them and makes them a lot more interesting to be around.
