I really don’t care what others are driving or wearing, so I figure that other people really don’t care what I drive or wear?

It’s funny the people that I want to hang out with are the ones that save their money:) I want to learn from others that have it, so I try not to hang out with broke people and those are usually the ones that drive expensive cars and have big homes.

I have found the people that save their money don’t try to keep up the the Jones they care about saving for the future and I think that makes more since.

There will always be something to buy things just get old:) Everyone wants a “new” car… how about a new whatever?? I think we need to sit back and try to figure out why we think we need all these things just to impress people “that really don’t care”.

My advice: Hang out with people that enjoy saving. You just might need that extra money in the near future. and Don’t hang out with Broke people!

How can you have a blog and not care?

What a great post! I think that I don’t care what others think, but then I want to be presentable and I strive to be middle of the road: A basic, solid car that lets me be comfortable with my flashy friends as well as my more grounded friends. Ditto for clothes, jewelry, etc. I can’t imagine being in a job that required me to look a certain way, but I do know that I perform better if I look good. A great dress, whether it comes from Nordstrom or the thrift shop, makes me feel fantastic.

I am actively trying to avoid any of the consumer goods that seem to define success: the big TV, the flashy car, the expensive watch. However, I would love to have a boat, because I remember the wonderful experiences I had boating as a child.

I loved reading everyone’s comments.

I think the good news is that, as you get older, people are less impressed by “things” and more intrigued by people who seem to be comfortable in their own skin. I guess we start to realize how hard that is to achieve and begin to recognize it and admire it in others.

I did care, and it got me 10s of thousands in debt w/nothing to show for it. I still care, and can’t help it, so what I have done is changed who I let into my life. Most of my friendsnow are interested in their personal and spiritual development and they take whatever work won’t interfere with that too much.
