You can't live in TOO nice of a house, you can't drive TOO nice of a car, you can't eat at upscale restaurants, your furniture best be at least ten years old, etc, else your friends and neighbors begin to get jealous of your lifestyle.

You have to "fit in"; drive the same crappy ten year old cars everyone else drives, live in a house with a leaky roof and crappy windows, 20 year old carpet, etc etc., shop at Wal-mart along with the other losers, etc etc.

No "getting ahead" allowed.
