I learned that lesson some years ago the hard way when I lost everything and became homeless. I had to re evaluate my values and face how truly materialistic I was and to stop judging myself using other people's outsides as a measure. I am grateful I was able to learn the lesson otherwise I would have just sunk deep into depression and never kicked back up. I survived and made a come back but I probably will never have the kind of money I used to have and it's ok. I like my jeans and sweaters and nowadays I don't need to spend 200 on a dress or shoes I ll wear a couple of times. I like myself (well most of the time anyway it's a work in progress LOL).
