There is nothing wrong with living in as much comfort as you can afford. It is alright to plan for, work for and get those things that will make your life more comfortable. However, it is important not to get caught up in the rat race of keeping up with the Joneses. Getting a second car simply to impress your friends, for example, may be heading down the road to distress. If you don’t need or can’t afford a new car, don’t buy it. You are in control of your own life.
