Toulon I just think that this leads to trying to keep up with the Joneses behavior and is a form of bragging
YOU have to let it be bragging, before it can become that! I always just wonder....WTF? Why would anyone pay that much for...(insert the name of the idiocy purchase here). Then again, did they actually PAY for it, or is it financed? Big diff, for bragging rights, to begin with. Credit can buy many things that can't be afforded.
Not to brag 😆, but when I tell you I purchased something, trust that it was done with cash. And I OWN it.
