Instructions

Difficulty: Moderate

Things You’ll Need:

• A winning smile
• A "sparkling" personality
• Verve
• Nerves of steel
• A little acting experience
• A killer wardrobe or just dress preppie
• Some business cards with your name on it and a telephone number or email address

1. First things first. You must decide where you'd like to live for free. What kind of luxury are you looking for? Is it Monaco, or perhaps a sweet flat in Manhattan's swank upper east side? You decide. Once you've come up with an idea of where you'd like to move, move onto the next step.
2. Society pages. Yes my friends, this is the next awful step. Sure it won't be easy, but you need to be where the people who live in those wonderful estate are. So all you need do is find out where they go to church or synagogue or shop or socialize. Find out where they walk their dog (if they walk their dogs) and where they job and where they play and where they drink. Get yourself a list going. I'm not telling you to stalk them. No way hosea. That is exactly the opposite of what we are going to accomplish. What you need do is just assemble a list of which houses you'd like to live in, who lives in them, and where they hang out. Try to find people who are about your age in life and maybe your stage in life. Not everyone in these humungous mansions is a starlet. Some of them merely live like and near the stars. These are the people you want to know, the humdrum every day, hedge fund, trust fund inherting folks. Just your odinary richies. Find out where they are. It isn't hard. I attended a college in a town in Westchester that was full of them. And they are much easier to meet than you might think.
3. Okay, once you have the list in hand, the next step is to see how to dress. You want to look nice, but not too showy. This is key. Develop a humble attitude. Be sweet and demure, or shy a little. Humility is your biggest asset. You don't have to have it, you just have to be able to fake it well. Once you have your "look" in place (and as I said earlier, preppie is easiest because you can buy it for less than a few dollars in a thrift store and look like really old money which is key).
4. Okay you have your list, and you have your look. Now is the chance to meet. If you find out that for example, Joanna Ludgoodness is an Episcopalian and goes to St. Martha's Church in Sleepyville, NY, your next step would be to attend the mass. After the mass at these things there is generally a coffee hour. You should go and mingle. Meet everyone and then meet Joanna. Maybe you've learned something about her or her neighbors in your online site. You might take your coffee the same way as her and when she goes to get the coffee you might make your cup first and giggle a little and say, oh we take it the same? Be friendly, be humble.
5. Don't stay for too long. You want to give the impression that you have other things going on. You are definately busy. Miss a Sunday and then go again on another sunday. Talk to others but barely see her. Then on the third visit sit at her table and talk to the other people at the table and then when she says something to you...say, "oh, you're the woman who I met getting coffee." And smile. If she loves dogs tell her how much you love dogs. Develop an interest. If you don't have a dog, make one up or get one. Dogs can be a key thing here. Or tell her you like to clean..or swim or love children, whatever. The key is here to develop a kinship, or comraderie. It's not as hard as it seems and I've done it a million times. Just mingle and be yourself and have a long list of houses and people. This way you don't feel pressured to just go for one or the other.
6. Make sure you coordinate your seasons with theirs. What this means is, the main way to stay at a richie's house is to be there when they aren't or to be there when they are. If you plan on being there when they are, it takes a little more conversation and sparkling wit. By now you know where their kids go to school and what they like on the golf course or in the art gallery. Do your homework. The more you have in common with them, the better. It's never about money. And quite frankly here it isn't. You're just looking for a nice place to live.
7. Once you gain their confidence, they'll want your number. Make sure it's a good number..get a cell phone if you live in the wrong area code. Or just give them an email address. If they're throwing a party you are the best party planner. And you will be. Or if they need someone to help with arranging the flowers, you know someone and you can help manage or direct. Be friendly and sincere, or at least seem that way. You just want to be helpful.
8. This could take a little while, but the payoff is enormous. After a time you will win their trust and then when they are going away, they'll naturally ask you to watch the house. I have some friends who travel around the world and while they needed someone to guard the house against the servants, it was me they called. So if you want to live in luxury for free, this is your ticket. You can do it through friendship. What most people don't know is that those who live at the very top of the social spectrum (and I learned this from my rich old Aunt in NYC) are very lonely with few close friends. Be a friend and they'll give you the key to the castle. Of course you won't own it, and you really can't take anything or even borrow anything from the premises. But the point is this, you can enjoy it.
9. Now here's the best part, not only will you get to enjoy the house, but when they find out how naiive you are they'll enjoy showing you things, because secret number two is that almost anything that the rich are bored of, they enjoy so much to show to someone that they like being around..because in showing you, they see it through your eyes and it's truly exciting and like its the first time (assuming they've ever had a first time). So live it up. But be true to yourself and realize when it's time to leave and go to the next mansion on your list. This is very accomplishable! I'd wish you luck, but if you've gotten this far, you don't need it!

Tips & Warnings

• Be charming
• Learn everything you can about the people and the neighborhood you're seeking out
• Be as sincere as you can and as honest about yourself
• Try not to have a criminal record and if you do, don't give your real name
• Invest in some nice cloth business cards..the old kind used in the thirties/forties that just have your name. It's always more personal if you write your information on the back when they ask for it.
• don't steal anything from the house
• don't lie
• don't invite friends over who aren't as rich as your hosts
• enjoy the party but don't fall in love with it -be ready to move at a moments notice
• don't film a reality show with my idea without cutting me in first! :)
