In the United States,when one becomes rich,he wants people to know it. And even if he does not become very rich,he wants people to think that he is. That is what 44keeping up with the Joneses” is about.
The expression was finst 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 got married and moved with his wife to a very wealthy neighborhood outside New York City. When he saw that rich people rode horses,Momand went horseback riding every day.
It was like a race,but one could never finish his race because one was always trying to keep up. The race ended for Momand and his wife when they could no longer pay for their new way of life. They moved back to an apartment in New York City.
Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series of short stories. He called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States.
People never seem to get tired of keeping up with the Joneses. And there are 44Joneses^ in every city of the world. But one must get tired of trying to keep up with the Joneses because no matter what one does,Mr Jones always seems to be ahead.
