Others like Jenny ③ ____ ________ __ _____ _____ _____ ________ _____ rather than incite jealousy by discussing the excitement of a vacation. 32-year-old Kim told his friends and coworkers that he's simply staying home this year. Kim, who will be vacationing in Saipan, says it is sometimes easier to hide his wealth than bring it out into the open.

Experts agree that good times may be hard for the successful right now amidst the recession. Displaying one's wealth could easily stir up animosity and hostile jealousy instead of drawing admiration like it used to.
