This thread is kind of "down" on the Jones. That was my only point. People on this forum are very nice and kind, but I think when talking about the Jones it's kind of negative. The negativity isn't pointed at one person like, "McCartyGirl - you're a such and such for spending money", it's more down in the way that it's an insult to be a Jones or want something the Jones' have. Maybe I took the thread a little to heart because I travel, I get pedicures every 5-6 weeks, get a new vehicle every 3 years, etc. The comments aren't always in a positive light when talking about stuff like that:

Although, I don't get manis nor do I have a fancy hair do
I wasn't saying that anyone is wrong or right, just wondering at what point to people say that they're going to spend what they've saved.
To some others - a lot of the people on the board are Jones' - it's all what one considers the Jones'. And what one has and doesn't have, wants and doesn't want, etc.
I agree LR - we save so that we can travel, and stay at nicer hotels and such.
I hope that no one thinks I meant that they were mean or anything, again, I might have taken it to heart a little too much.
