Do you think it's important to keep up with the Joneses?

Question

Do you keep up with your neighbors or your friends?  Be honest!

Answer

My husband does this in a non material way. If our neighbors rake up their leaves he’ll be like “Ah, shit. I better go take care of those leaves or I’ll look like an asshole.”

Answer

Sometimes I do that's why I want a Louis Vuitton bag so people think I'm posh. But the white trash side of me would never spend that kind of money on a purse like that 😂

Answer

Lol no. My mother has been like that my whole life, always having to be better than those around her and have nicer things than others and it almost cost her her house. She’s been in debt up to her eyeballs for decades and I never want my life to be like that. It looks exhausting.

Answer

I don’t even speak to my neighbors so I’m definitely not worried about keeping up with them & I’m more well off than all my friends so it would be a downgrade to keep  up with them. 
I’ve never been a person that worries about what other people do or have, always been focused on where I’m at, what I’m doing, & how I can be doing it better. I’m my own competition.

Answer

This caught my eye because my maiden name is Jones 😂 
No you never have to engage with others if you don’t want to. I have been living in our current place for about 2 months and I have seen the neighbors once or twice. (That was just seeing them, no stopping to chat or even say that we are new to the area) 
If you want to then that is your right, but never feel like it is an obligation!

Answer

I know people like this (my father) but i don't see the benefit. Why would I spend my money on things other people value instead of on things that I find value in?
