Going without a brand new gas guzzling SUV or two is hardly being a
martyr. Not buying a McMansion is hardly being a martyr. Not keeping up
with the Joneses or engaging in conspicuous consumerism is not
martyrdom.
I've met people -- usually women -- who would rather die than not
"keep up with the Jones"...The concept of "giving up the Escalade" in
order to take flight lessons couldn't be more foreign to them.
I don't get it, but that's not unusual.
