Great idea Sean.
You know what's funny, after reading some of it I watched Californication. (If your into it and haven't seen the latest episode then there will be spoilers just to warn you)
One of the characters, Runkle got fired and was in his house. He was in his underwear nearly crying to Hank that he lost his job and that he is living paycheck to paycheck and that his house is so expensive to rent and that he is fucked.
Hank said "Why the hell are you living above your means?" and Runkle goes "Well Stew (a guy who is with his ex wife) is rich and has a big house so I just had to get this big, fancy pussy magnet."
And I was actually laughing because it was the exact attitude I was reading about in the Millionaire Fastlane.
The whole "get this big house or this fancy car to impress others". When in reality I bet the other guy doesn't give a shit.
Personally if I was going to get a house, i'd want a house that I like and find cool. It doesn't have to be an over the top, fancy kind of thing. Same with cars, as long as my car isn't falling apart and is in relatively good condition I don't care.
