What is your motivation behind what you seek and will you attain your goal when X number of things are bought or has technology and pop culture created an environment that has restricted any limitation to your desires?
nice car, nice house, money for kids education so they don't have to fuck with student debt like me, and enough money to sustain us as a family for the rest of our lives without me waking up in a cold sweat at night worrying about how to put food on the table.
Nice car and nice house are at the bottom of that list.
Once the "priorities" are taken care of, then it's just a dick measuring contest for me vs everyone else. I'm sorry i'm a disappointing human being to you for wanting to be better than others.
