There's no comparison: You and your husband live according to your means and use only the space and resources two people need. The C-O-O and his trophy wife are conspicous consumers who are taking up more space and resources than they need just because they are greedy, insecure, and status-conscious. There are indeed lines, and every now and then, I'm just snarky enough to point them out. Heh. ;-)

See, I pity the CCO and trophy wife. They are 100% artificial and when their lives are over they'll have nothing worthwhile to show for it. I'm willing to bet that their lives are empty, too. Their concept of love extends about as far as their bank account. Don't hate them; pity them.

I agree - pity them. Trust me - in being raised in a town run by old money, I saw families (both old and new money) be destroyed despite their shallowness. I saw them have to deal with reality and not ready for it, making it even worse.
