[quote=Anonymous]Try to reframe your perceptions, since you can't change them, you can only change your own actions. So instead of seeing you and your DH as the virtuous Frugal down-to-earth couple and theyn as the showboating ridiculous couple, try to chalk it up in your head to "we have different priorities." The reason it bothers you is that you think that what they're doing is somehow less good than the way you approach money. If you can re-frame your outlook, and perhaps see it more as these are people who are genuinely happy and enjoying their new lives, it will be easier. you'll feel a lot better about the whole situation. Try to steer the conversation away, focus on their positive attributes. I know a lot of people are going to come on here and say ditch the shallow, status obsessed couple(as you yourself called them). But if they're overall good people, I think the better approach is always to try to change your self or at least your outlook, not other people[/quote]
