Keeping up with the neighbors next door has always been a problem here in America. We see something someone else has and don't want to miss out. Pretty soon, we have lots of nice things but lots of debt to go with it. It's a house of cards waiting to be blown over in even the slightest bit of headwind. We would be better off to live diligently with our money and not worry about appearing wealthy, which is not always easy to do. Stay salty and be kind, my friends!
