Just my 2c on the nice car, nice house, nice clothes story...
In SA I did everything I could to have the best because it was comforting. I was so depressed I needed to spoil myself to lift my spirits (ok, maybe not sooooo bad, but sort of)
Here in NZ I have a nice-ish house 'coz I have to live in it, but I drive a 1994 car (I got my first car in SA in 1994 - brand new and never had anything less), and I bought clothes at the op-shop on the weekend!!! And... I'm wearing one of the shirts right now! And... I'm not broke, I just liked them!
I don't know... Maybe the real me is a Kiwi? Since coming to NZ I just feel more like the real me!
