So I read an article in the past about the rich. It said the rich didn't get rich by living within their means or even above their means. They got rich by living below their means. By living below there means, they were able to put money in places that would later get them rich. So for example, they didn't splurge on wants. They always reconsider if this is a want or a need. If it is a need they purchase it, but at the best price possible, not just any price. They take the money they didn't spend and invest it and save it. Before they knew it, they now have all this money that they don't know what to do with. Basically, you don't need that beamer right now, when you don't have money for groceries. Instead live with your 1995 while you make sure to remain out of debt. Put away money and before you know it, you will be able to buy the beamer and still have extra money for all your life's necessities.
The concept of keeping up with the Joneses should no longer be in our head. We are at a point where people are struggling to keep a job and keep food on the table. The results are sweeter then you can imagine.
