Keeping Away from the Joneses: Avoiding the “Affluenza” Epidemic

MoneyBroDotCom | Free articles | Sunday, February 22nd, 2009

So you’re out mowing your lawn one day. You happen to glance up from your beat-up old mower across the street, where your neighbor is pulling into his driveway in a brand new luxury sedan while a team of hired gardeners carefully manicure his lush green yard. You don’t get it. His house is the same size as yours and you know the jobs that he and his wife have aren’t anything special. How does he have so many more toys than you? How can he afford them?

Well, rest easy my hard-working friend; if he’s like many Americans, he can’t. He’s just another victim of our country’s endless pursuit for bigger and better material possessions, regardless of if we can afford them or not. Sure a brief moment of jealousy might come over you for a moment or two, but it’ll pass. Resist that urge to “keep up with the Joneses”; you’ll be happy you did.
