Is it trying to live a lifestyle in excess of what they can afford?

I am sure this is the case more than not. I know one married couple in particular who makes it obvious they are "keeping up with the Jones'".

They started having kids around the same time someone else they were friends with, started having their kids. From there, the other couple bought a certain vehicle, well a month later they decided to buy the same vehicle, but with the full package.

Other couple took their kids to Disney world, they buy a timeshare to Disney, etc, etc.

They are miserable. They always fighting.. In front of people. Complain about money problems, etc.. I don't wish it on them but they will likely eventually divorce. And their are a lot of people who try to keep up with the Jones'. So I am pretty sure that's a problem.

I rather be the Jones'... Ya heard?
