Do you spend money you haven't earned to impress people you don't like?

"Too many people spend money they haven't earned, to buy things they don't want, to impress people they don't like."
~ Will Smith
I want to remind myself not to be this kind of people. It's hard to imagine these words of wisdom comes from a superstar like Will Smith. May be that's why he's rich!
Update:
Smith spent money freely during his early career and underpaid his income taxes. The Internal Revenue Service eventually assessed a $2.8 million tax debt against Smith, took many of his possessions, and garnished his income. He was nearly bankrupt in 1990. Reference: Smith, Will.
