[quote=Anonymous]No, don't do it. The fact that you are having any second thoughts about it is a sign you shouldn't.

I think 10 years ago people did stuff like this all the time and it was considered normal, but I think over time and the build up of this behavior, many people have started to see the issues with it.

I try to stay away from posting anything that can be viewed as an announcement of having spent a lot of money. House renos, new cars, new clothes. Vacation pics are fine but not if they are focused on luxury items ("look at me in 1st class, look at the buter in our private bungalow bringing us breakfast, etc.). Same with weddings or birthdays (sweet pic of people looking happy, great; close up of showy/expensive feature of event, no).

People on here will attack me for this but I think it's the key. Different people have different resources. The line between sharing your life and bragging about how much money you have on social media has to do with how overt the show of resources is. A pic of an expensive gut renovation of a home is too money focused, so it's a no. Have a party and people can come over and see it in a way that makes them feel they are part of it. Some might still be jealous, but it's not memorialized on social media in the same way.[/quote]
