Most times, we crave for acceptance and recognition from our peers, thereby doing things we are not capable of handling. We live in a world where people use the latest phones, gadgets, houses and cars but if you do not have, why don’t you make use of what you have at the moment.
People go as far as collecting loans just to feel among, I watched a funny skit about a couple who wanted to get married, although they did not have that much money but they wanted their marriage to be the biggest thing in town thereby going overboard. After the wedding, bills started coming in.
This boils down to low self-esteem, no one wants to be looked down on, you need to have that self-confidence to manage what you have. Going into debt just to please others is abnormal, when it backfires, those you are trying to impress will not come to your rescue but mockery and shame will be the order of the day.
Life is in stages and it is very much dynamic, start at your own pace, with hard work and God on your side, there is no limit in which you cannot go.
Do not worry about what other people think about you, you know your goals and aspirations, they might not manifest now but they would surely come to pass if you work on it.
