Everyone is going to tell you how they got better from their lender.

Everyone is going to share their house-buying horror stories when you buy.

And, what they can't "beat" you at, they make up.

It happens at all the major milestones in life......when you get married, when you buy a home, when you have a baby, build a stock portfolio, when you get a divorce or your spouse dies. I never did figure out what it is about people that go out of their way to play their little games of one-ups-man-ship, but it's not everyone, just the same few, many of them family or close friends. It's suppose to be the other way around, we're to be reassuring to neighbors and friends. Has this tangent attitude always been present or am I just noticing it more and more, lately?
