Money is indeed a key word of man's status quo but it's better to maintain a sustainability for a long term going than living the high classes in just a short term else, you'd become a mockery in reviewing of your past and recalling your present status quo.
You don't have to live to impress others, first you have to impress yourself with what ever you can afford to provide. When one is still at their initial stage of chasing success, the person don't have to over strain themselves because they want to impress the public and at that point losing what they are still gathering. There's a saying that "you can't eat your cake and have it back" So, it is very important to first be content with what one have while still working on themselves to get to that classic level where they can splash money any how they want with looking at their pocket because they know that their is a well always available to replenish the pocket.
