Amazing how different things will look with that new perspective Vic.
I too grew out of trying to one up or stay up with the Jones'....it became very apparent after getting out of the luxury car biz that shit like that don't matter. Having more zip ties doesn't matter, having "the best" doesn't matter but having a less stressful living does. Caring about others' feelings matter, not belittling others matters, not always correcting others matters. Live by the words, treat others the way you wish them to treat you.....
