I don't like it when people brag or showoff about what they got and I give them less respect when they do. Although, I do think driving your mom's car is taking the don't showoff a bit too far... you could probably up the car a little bit without anyone thinking anything of it.

While it is hard to change people's perceptions, I feel that if they changed their mentality, eventually we would look upon them differently. The difference though is that they most likely would lose some of their fame, and I'd venture a guess to say that they enjoy the media-based fame, or at least are addicted to it. Re-branding is often difficult and takes a lot of time. However, from the personal level, I feel it has much more to do with the person who's being judged is fearful of changing their habits or flat out doesn't want to change. It's sad really, and generally causes them to crash and burn after a while. Remember when everyone was fearful that Spears's life would end tragically last year? You know what.

Keeping up with the Jones's is what they call it. People don't even get to enjoy what they have because they are so caught up in beating out their neighbors for the latest and greatest. It's such a silly concept and it screams insecurity and weakness. A nice suit does help and I always recommend everyone should have one, but I also think that's entirely different than people leasing luxury vehicles because they can't afford them but want to keep up with their neighbor's car selection. Buying that 72" TV to beat out their neighbor's 66". A suit is an investment that when worn on occasion presents a respectable aura from the people you need to impress to move forward. The 72" tv is nice, but overkill and serves little purpose. I really feel it is an addiction. Keeping up with the Jones’s is what they call it.
