Who to Impress

"Too many people spend money they haven't earned, to buy things they don't want, to impress people they don't like." - Will Smith

This quote really makes me think about the reasons for buying stuff, do we do it because that's what we want to do or is it for some other (unconscious perhaps?) reason? If we buy stuff we don't need that we then have to use up a significant number of those precious 750,000 Hours working to pay for, is that really what we want to be doing? Then why do we do it?

Who are we impressing?
