I can relate...both on FB and in real life. My friends are fine, it's my family. Ever since I can remember, once my brothers and sisters started getting married and we got together they would do things such as "outshop eachother" buying expensive things in expensive stores. They had their nails professionally done and I just felt the odd woman out. Over the years, I have notced after these get togethers, if I stay with part of my family I find that they are experiencing extreme buyers remorse or have saved money up for months to make it look like they are doing so well when they just struggle for groceries.

It was odd to find this out, but it made me proud to be able to be just me, in jeans, rolling around the floor with the animals or hiking with their kids while they went shopping. If you ask me, I think me and the kids had the right idea.

Moral of the story? Not everything is as it appears.
