The Trap of Lifestyle Creep
Many people fall into lifestyle creep, believing that having nicer things will bring them respect and admiration. However, the truth is that nobody cares about you or your possessions as much as you do. The key to happiness is not needing to impress others. Instead, focus on what truly makes you happy in life. A high-end Toyota with its comfort and features is a better car than an entry-level BMW, which is mostly about bragging rights. Align your life with what brings you genuine joy, and lifestyle creep will disappear. Fame often leads to a miserable life, as exemplified by the experiences of a famous rock and roll manager. Pursue relationships, health, and happiness, rather than chasing materialistic goals.
