[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]"Keeping up with the Joneses" used to mean a new Lexus SUV and a country club membership, now it means seeing the Joneses on instagram hiking in Peru, using Epic Passes to ski all season in Vail, and sun bathing in Mykonos.[/quote]

I mean ... it is the 21st century. People prefer to spend money on experiences over things. Not sure why you are so vexed by this. I would enjoy Mykonos. I have zero interest in driving a Lexus and I don't play golf. So. [/quote]

It’s literally a scam. People are being duped into flushing large sums of money down the drain.[/quote]

+100. Who even believes the “experiences over things” BS nowadays anyway? So cliché. I’ve traveled quite a bit and it’s just another form of consumption that gives you pleasure, like a luxury handbag or really nice sheets. Hell, at least the sheets are something you enjoy every single day.[/quote]

I am well traveled. Instagram era is next level crazy. Most people are only traveling to post on social media and brag. Its 100% the case. [/quote]

You seem bitter.

I travel a lot. So do my friends…. Most people I know don’t post to social media at all.  Maybe it’s you that’s the problem?[/quote]
