If your neighbour wins a million dollars in a lottery, your chances of going bankrupt increase by more than 90%.
Sounds absurd, right? But here’s the truth — it’s all about peer pressure.
With the explosion of social media, our lives are increasingly filled with comparisons. Everyone wants to showcase their cars, homes, holidays, or luxuries to prove their success and hard work.
But what starts as sharing achievements soon turns into a silent competition — a race to keep up with others’ lifestyles, often at the cost of our financial and mental well-being.
🔁 The Ripple Effect
When we chase validation from people we barely know, it triggers a ripple effect — pushing us toward overspending, stress, and unnecessary goals.
Here’s something to remember 👇
“If you lived on an island where no one could see what you do or own, would you still buy what you buy today?”
That one question can change how you approach your decisions.
⚖️ The Key Takeaway
Focus on utility, not vanity.
Buy what you need, not what proves a point.
True growth is internal, not measured by likes, shares, or envy.
