When I see these commercials, and I think of people saying, I'm really jealous of this person, who has this really top of the line car. I say to myself as I sit in traffic, and look at this SUV next to me, big one, top of the line car there. They're in the same traffic jam I'm in. They're under the same red light I'm at. It's the same traffic situation that everyone despises, and I think about that commercial, and I start to laugh. Being jealous of other people's things, is not really a worthwhile process for you. Sometimes, especially when you get into an economic slump, as we may well be in now.
