It's spending money (you often don't have) on (usually vapid) status symbols to match or outdo a neighbour doing the same

I don't, I buy what I like

It means if you buy something, then they buy something of equal value. Like a new car or boat, etc. And no I don’t lol.

Basically trying to give the impression that you have money you don’t by purchasing lavish things. Maybe even trying to impress others. A lot of times people use credit cards to make these purchases.

It’s a phrase that is actually quite psychologically apropos. It’s “fear of missing out” essentially (FOMO). Be it fashion-wise with Air jordans or beats headphones, or fomo over stock prices. Makes rich richer and poor poorer.

If you are constantly comparing yourself to other people you will never be happy
