Life is Not a Competition
Ignore the proverbial Joneses.
One of the most dangerous paths to clutter (and to overspending) is the urge to own the same things your friends do. Peer pressure can be powerful. I’ve come to realize that lifestyles are not a competition. What does it matter what others buy?
I’m content with what I have — more Stuff is not going to make me more happy.
