Some people feel the need to brag about what they have. Expensive car, big house, etc etc.
Some people have those things but don't feel the need to draw attention to them.
Are the braggers insecure? Do people really care about 'things' more than actual people? Why do people feel the need to get so horribly into debt at xmas/ other times of year, just to try to appear to be something they aren't?

As I have said before, money does not buy sophistication, grace or style.
Perhaps there is a certain amount of elitism in those who brag. Perhaps they feel the need to elevate themselves above the others in order to make themselves feel good.
Who knows?

I used to be very much like that. The reason I used to do it was I thought it looked good to the people around me. It made me feel like I had the admiration of my peers.
However I have since grown up and realised I'm not really that bothered. The people that matter will like you for who you are, not how well you appear to have done at the ratrace of life.

theres a lot of very wealthy people where we live only to look at them when they are out walking their dogs you would never know as they are so ordinary down to earth and friendly.
then theres some middle classed or working class people who are always bragging about everything and who look down their noses at you.
as for getting into debt at christmas
i dont see the point, people worry too much about their kids having everything they want, trouble is when their kids grow up they wont be able to cope so well, especialy if they cant get a job
and what happens if their parents fall on hard times and cant always help them out.
when i was a kid i used to get excited about just getting a book for christmas. |

Growing up, I was surrounded by my extended family, and some of them would brag constantly about their wealth. In the end, they were the first to lose their fortunes through excesses. |

This thread brought to mind the Harry Enfield characters Stan and Pam Herbert who would brag to anyone who would listen, in their rich Black Country accents...."We are considerably more richer than yow!". There was also Loadsamoney. Brought a chuckle remembering them them this morning. |

if they have worked hard and achieved, the fact that they mention what their endeavours have bought doesn't bother me in the slightest. I read the car & holiday threads and think wow.... nice car or great location and hope they enjoy it.
I truly have no idea of the sacrifices that they may have made to aid their successes, there will be many.

I don't think it's as easy as insecurity. You only need to watch TV for an hour to get subliminally told that possessions are good and having very little is bad. This country runs economically on people buying things and consumerism is encouraged therefore people equate having things with esteem. Some people I should say, I don't care enough about stuff I'm afraid.  |

From experience, when we have come into contact with blow hards and braggers, we have found that the ones boasting have got all their trappings on plastic and owe most of their stuff on finance, so it's genuinely theirs.
We haven't got a lot but it's all bought and paid for. |

I think that it could be linked to pride. Proud of the things they have worked hard for or achieved in life. Ok for some people it will just be the need to shove it in people faces with the 'I have better than you' attitude but imagine if somebody grew up with nothing and worked hard for years to get to a better place or get better things. They're bound to be proud and want to show off what they have. |

Being a millionaire on paper isn't that hard nowadays.
A half decent sized home in an OK area will take some folk quite a way towards £1M on paper.
The Sunday Times Rich List only really takes account of 'stuff' and ignores money in the bank. |

I know someone whose very wealthy, but on a day to day basis you would never know. They where things they buy of ebay ect. Its only when they are going somewhere that you can tell.
There are those that break there neck to tell you everything they have, i know these sort of people as well. If someone has worked hard for what they have good luck to them, however some brag because they think it will gain friendship, which sadly it doesnt, just hangers on |

Haha how funny i was tempted to post on the same subject yesterday about bragging. I have seen many posts on here where peeeps want to tell everyone about stuff they have. Unfortunatly our society places huge emphasis on what we have rather than who we are. Of course that outlook on our lives, the planet we live on and the never ending ininite universe has no majesty in it. It does however make a few people rich and keeps the wheels of capatilism in motion |

I agree its not as simple as insecurity. People are constantly bombarded that our reality is all about money and what we can purchase. Its understandable that people have their whole sense of self and their status wrapped up in "things." Telling others about what you have although in my _iew is a bit sad, it seems more about receiving some affirmation that you are a success and that you are doing the right thing with your life. The capatilist system and the way the world operates is about as unimaginative as you could possibly get. I think it also stops people from reaching their real potential and the evolution of the human race |

I dont have an awful lot, just a son and 4 cats.
Getting in debt at Christmas though, especially for children, I can understand. Bullies seem to be worse than ever at school these days if your child/children haven't got the latest phone/trainers/ipod etc and when you have the childs father with a good job, buying every latest game console, ipad, tv etc, he feels disappointed when he comes to me. It feels as though his dad is buying my sons love and its working. Try to explain that money and the latest gadgets aren't important, that love, good health and a safe, clean home is more important, but he's having none of it.  |

Too early - about 4 for our son. That why we have put our foot down last year and this year and limited the amount of stuff we let people buy him.
He is an only child so we are very wary of him being "spoilt" so it is one main present from us, one smaller one and some fun bits in his stocking. And we don't let anyone else spoil him either. And we always make him choose some toys that he doesn't play with after xmas/birthdays to give to the "little boys and girls who don't have as much."
People may disagree but we think if he gets too much he won't appreciate what he does get and expect it all the time. And if we can drill an awareness of how lucky his is compared to others into him at the same time so much the better.
Just our attempt at good parenting though. |

We have a lot of relatives that want to buy things at xmas. Last year I asked them to make a donation to a children's charity of their choice on his behalf. (I asked him first if it was ok to not get toys and he was fine with it.)
He was happy. |

My youngest is 6 and still believes in Santa so it's quite difficult to try and explain about how much things cost. But last year I sat him down and explained that Santa has soo many boys and girls to buy for that he can only give each child 1 gift. But Mummy's and Daddy's and Aunts uncles etc can buy gifts as well.
This has worked out quite well.
As far as the lady who talks about her ex buying his love  I have a somewhat similar situation. My ex husband and I have 3 kids. 1 who is at uni, 1 who is at college and the little one. He has paid me NO maintenance since we split up 3 years ago. He takes my son every weekend and takes him off out here there and everywhere. Last year he bought a boat and took him out every weekend during the summer. I was worried that K would always look back and see that all his fun times were with Daddy and all Mummy ever did was make him go to bed early, get up for school, do his homework and eat his veg I was talking to the older kids about it and they said No mum when he's older he will look back and know that you gave him unconditional love and your undivided attention. And he will know that you sometimes struggled to pay the mortgage and feed and clothe him and he'll know that his dad made no attempt to help you.
Wise kids I have and I believe what they say. All a kid needs is to feel loved and I'm sure you are doing a grand job honey xxx |

Also meant to say for his birthday last year K asked if he could sponser a dog from dogs trust - it cost me £2 a month and he gets updates thro the post - he even got a wee award at school for being the best caring and sharing child in his class - I was very proud of him.
Only prob is he now wants to sponsor snow leopards, wells, kids etc etc etc very hard to reign him in lol xx |

There is a person on here who does have a tendency to brag and it's a very unpleasant personality trait. People who are confident and aware have no need to justify themselves in a material manner to anyone. When this person speaks of 'riches', it's always in a material money orientated way. At no point does this person ever mention family, friends, love and life in general. I pity that person. |

I dont mind not having much money, its the ill health and being unable to work that bothers me.
My sister refuses to work and goes from partner to partner to live off them and benefits, not that really gets my back up.
I have another sis who is in debt upto her eyeballs because she has a new flsh car every 12 months, everything on finance and likes to throw money about. She says she doesnt want to look like a 'tramp' like I do!

there is a difference between bragging and talking about what you have got though.
i like it when people talk about what they have got and am pleased for them.
just dont like show offs much.
then we are all show offs sometimes though. |

Every year before christmas, callum would sort out his old toys, pack them up and we would go to the volunteer bureau that gave to children who hadnt got anything. Every year they sent him a personal letter to thank him. You have to learn children to understand, he never went out and probley had more than some, but i also taught him there was those less fortunate than him |

I see it more like that as well, the spiteful envy of people who have done well for themselves is so apparent on here at times from certain quarters, I look at it a different way....people who have got off their arse and launched a singing or acting career (neither of which are easy to break into), or a footballer, they deserve whatever the going rate is for their endeavours.
Sometimes the vitriolic hatred shown for these individuals by some members (usually the same faces and their pals) on this forum is sickenly predictable. |

Theres bragging and bragging, i like it when someone says they have got something new because they are excited about it. But people that go on and on and dont realize that they are very fortunate and some people on here cant afford a pint of beer and they go on about materialistic possesions.
Thats cause i will be bragging about my christmas present when it arrives lol |

Wealth and status symbols like cars and holidays, homes and other belongings have never impressed me, whether inherited or acquired through hard work. At the end of the day you can surround yourself with all the trimmings and still be very lonely. It is people, family and friends that matter. Well, to me anyway.
Now that does not mean I would nt partial to yet another pair of heels...;-) |

i dont have much.
and i dont want much. i go to work and after christmas will again put lots of things on ebay which i no longer want.
im just me, nothing special or flash and i dont want to try and be someone else.
only thing i'll be paying for soon is a new suit.
maybe boring but i dont care.the people i meet bring me enjoyment and thats all i need right now. |
