does not become very rich, he wants people to think that he is. that is what “keeping up with the joneses” is about, it is the story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors. the expression was first used in 1913 by a young american called arthur momand. he told this story about himself. he began earning $ 125 a week at the age of 23. that was a lot of money in those days. he

had servants. momand and his wife also hired a servant and gave big parties for their new neighbors.it was like a race, but one could never finish this race because one was always trying to keep up.
