As a personal project, I’ll be doing one illustration per ‘personality’.
This is “Mr. & Mrs. Jones”.
Mr. and Ms. Jones
In a consumer-based society we're programmed to notice when other people have more and - in turn - feel bad about it. Whether it's the coworker with the more expensive car, the neighbor with the bigger house, or the friend with the nicer clothes, keeping up with the Joneses can be a full-time job
if you choose to live that way.
Whether Mr. and Ms. Jones are waving their opulent lifestyles in your face or you just feel unworthy based on your own insecurities, it's best to nip this kind of envy in the bud as soon as possible -- and before you're driven to the edge of sanity.
The happiest people think in terms of what they do have rather than focusing on what they don't have. Food, clothing, and shelter will keep you alive. If you also have a nice family, a loving partner, good friends, and are in good health, you should consider yourself extremely lucky. Being grateful for what you have will boost your self-worth and prevent you from spending money in a quest to show off. You may not know this from the outside, but that coworker with the luxury car may be drowning in debt simply to impress you.
