People first then Money then Things

“Here’s the main problem in life: We are spending money we do not have, to impress people we don’t even know or like.Why do so many people do this? It’s very simple. People define themselves by the things they have around them, not by who they are. The reality is that things will never define who you are. You define the things that you have around you. But that’s not what people think. People think that if they drive a fancy car and they have fancy jewelry and fancy clothes that those things will show the world how great they are. ……..People first then money then things.” —- Suze Orman
I would agree that I am money conscious to a point. I have to be because I don’t want to get slammed with late fees. However, I have discovered that I can live with shirts, jeans and a pair of sneakers.
