Every city has an area where people want to live because others will think better of them if they do. And there are “Joneses” in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses, because no matter what one does, Mr. Jones always seems to be ahead.
For example, can you cut down on the amount of gas you use by taking public transportation?
If you eat out often, consider making more meals at home.
Examine your buying habits.

激发思维，考虑你的花费以及如何削减他们。在纸上记下来是很明智的，因为这样更容易削减费用。例如，你可以乘坐公共交通工具来减少汽油的用量吗？如果你经常再外面吃饭，可以考虑多在家里吃。反思你的购物习惯。

In the United States many have been told that anyone can become rich and successful if he works hard and has some good luck.
Yet, when one becomes rich, he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. That is what “keeping up with the Joneses” is about. It is the story of someone who tries to look as rich and as successful as his neighbors.
The expression was first used in 1913 by a young American by the name of Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself: he began earning $125 a week at the age of 23. That was a lot of money in those days. Young Momand was very proud of his riches. He got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. But just moving there was not enough. When he saw that rich people rode horses, Momand went horse riding every day. When he saw that rich people had servants, Momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.
Do some brainstorming about your expenses and how you could possibly cut back on them.
It is wise to write them down on paper because it is less easy to dismiss them that way.
It was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up. Momand and his wife could not do that.
The race ended for them when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They left their wealthy neighborhood and moved back to an apartment in New YorkCity.

Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “keeping up with the Joneses”, because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with the people around you. Momand’s series appeared in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.
