Does this sound like the set of challenges you might be facing?

  • I keep eyeing the nicer car, the watch, the upgrade that would make me look like I’ve made it
  • I buy the car, the clothes, the watch to look like I’ve made it, and my bank balance never reflects my income
  • My savings sit right there in the same account I spend from, so every time I check my balance that money looks available too
  • I won’t let go of this thing I own
  • I spend on whatever everyone around me seems to spend on, and at the end of it I couldn’t tell you what actually made me happy
