Input Junkie

There's a school of thought that keeps insisting that what you do has to be done for the sake of impressing others--and managing your financial affairs is included. Remember "Keeping up with the Joneses"? I suspect that if you are someone who can't imagine why you should bother to do that, the idea of investing to impress is also going to sit very strangely. But there are all too many people for whom the Joneses ot only must be kept up with, but outdone whenever possible.
