wedward: do you keep up with the joneses


Have to confess that sometimes I try to, depending on what it is.

No, I keep up with me. As long as I am happy with my own behaviour and standards then life is good for me. Would be better if I had a partner but that may never happen so I appreciate what I have.

No, I keep up with myself.

I have what I have, what I have worked hard for.

And that is it.

Simple.

I think as I have aged, I am happy with my lot.

I am a bit like that Weddie, I am not a shopper, but when I do buy something for the home, it lasts, so rarely do I have to purchase anything.

I have a house back in the UK, that is empty, comfortable and my home here is comfortable, cosy, too large for me alone, but I like it.

I do not want to keep up with anyone, I find that is the mentality of people in my town in the UK, just greeed and gluttony, where I am from, who has the best car, which is the best school, how many activities our children do.

Just crap.
