Well let's get things straight people, I know plenty of people nowadays just spend too much money so they can impress people. Remember there's a saying that: "I do not know the key to success, but the key to failure is trying to please everybody." People need to realize that you don't have to impress people by spending a lot of money and sometimes going into debt just to make the impression that they are living great. What's more alarming is that they are trying to spend hard earned money just so they can make the people they don't like envy of what they have. I think people should wake up right now. What is the purpose of pretending especially to the people you don't really like at all, why not just ignore them and move on and chase success instead?

These are the foolish ones. They do not see that once money is gone, it is really gone. You cannot get it back!

Some people not only do it to impress others but sometimes it's apart of their character. Impressing others doesn't work, especially when one goes in debt for it, insecure will try to spend money they don't really have to impress outsiders thinking that it will make a difference but it only creates more grief for the spender.

People who do that are immature. We should be content of what we have.We should live within our means.We should work hard and make our products from our works well done to make our clients happy

Yes. impressing friends, relatives, family. and in turn it earns you nothing I find it hard for people who are like that. I never did impressed anyone. I want to impress myself. at the end that's what matters.

The society operates like that at large. We are constantly scrutinized and judged. We should know our limits. There is no point in pretending to be someone you are not. Sooner or later people are bound to know and accept the truth.

That is not a true personality. This particular person is trying to show off to other people. We should show the real persona and not with the use of money.

I don't care to impress anyone and I certainly wouldn't go into debt for anyone either.

Some people have nothing at all except money. That would be the most miserable life in my eyes. We may not have a not of extra money and we may have a little bit of credit card debt we are working on but I feel richer than the individual buying love from family and friends.
