Perfect.  This is sometimes how I feel when my neighbor friends are being a little "fastidious" about their property.  We just don't hold ourselves to the same standard, but the thing is we still put plenty of money into our humble abode.

There is no need to live up to friends or neighbors expectations.  If we live within our means, have money for savings and we are happy, that is what matters.
