Spinoff to Keeping up with the Jones....
While I know that LIF is a SMALL percentage to everyone in the local area, it always makes me wonder WHO are these people that others speak of if almost NO ONE on here are "those" people?

Re: Spinoff to Keeping up with the Jones....
Well I don't think anyone is going to come out and start posting LIF usernames of those that they think are attempting to keep up with the Jones

Who are "those people" you speak of?
Do you mean, literally, people with the last name of "Jones"?

Re: Spinoff to Keeping up with the Jones....
DW had a good point on this topic. Many people appear to be "keeping up with the Joneses" in one way or other. However, they don't see it that way. For everyone who says they buy one nice handbag, but live modestly in every other way, someone who sees them outside of the house will only notice the very nice handbag, and not the 10 year old car, so they assume they are trying to keep up.
Since we only see glimpses of other people's lives, what we see and notice may *appear* that more people are living above their means than they really are.
Also, humans tend to generalize and overestimate. If we see a dozen people that we think are trying to kuwtj (tired of typing that phrase all the time... ), we expand that to "a lot of people".

Agreed.

Thanks.
I was being serious how whenever a question is asked everyone is always not "that person".
I guess because we don't really "know" people on a message board to see how they actually live and people don't like to admit they are different than every one else and many times don't like to be the "outcast" of a conversation.

Re: Spinoff to Keeping up with the Jones....
I think most of us don't really see ourselves the way the world sees us. I mean, do any of us look at ourselves in the mirror and say "Man, I am nothing but a pathetic lemming, driving myself into financial ruin, latte by latte, Ipad by Ipad, Louis by Louis, with my futile attempts to keep up with my equally materialistic neighbors."
