Keeping up with the Joneses rises to another level
Think again if you believe you’ve caught up with your neighbor with the latest gadgets.
The affluent have always wanted new ways to spend money and show off their wealth.
An affinity for new cars, boats, and jewelry could all be in the past. The newest status symbol you can attain is your very own robot.
