The “Jones’” Have Nothing On Us

We’ve all heard the saying “Keeping up with the Jones’”. Every one of us knows that particular family or individual who, no matter what, seems to need the biggest home, best “tricked out” SUV or sports car, largest plasma screen TV, and all the best toys money and credit can buy. Our society as a whole is bombarded with television commercials, marketing ploys, random sales calls to our homes with the hope that we are convinced we cannot live without whatever service or product they are selling. This is the greatest financial and mental trap we can fall into. What pleasure do you receive if you are working overtime, or maybe a second job and avoiding the bill collection calls? Is that purchase or service increasing the quality of your life or draining you financially and physically? Are you a slave to your own lifestyle?
With some changes in your thinking, habits and work ethics you can create and shape the life that suits you, soothes you and enhances your world.
