In the United States, sometimes when one becomes rich, he wants everyone to know it. And even if he 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 a story of someone who tried to look as rich as his neighbors.

The expression was first used in1913 by a young American called Arthur Momand. He told this story about himself. He began earning $125 a week at the age of 23, and 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 rich people riding horses, Momand went horse-riding every day. When he saw that the rich 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 another one was always trying to keep up. The race ended when Momand and his wife finally found that they could no longer pay for their new way of life and had to move back to an old apartment in New York City.

Momand looked around him and noticed that many people do such things just to keep up with rich lifestyle of their neighbors. He saw the funny side of it and started to write a series(系列)of short novels, and he called it “Keeping up with the Joneses” because “Jones” is a very common name in the United States. “Keeping up with the Joneses” came to mean keeping up with rich lifestyle of the people around you. Since then, Momand’s series came out in different newspapers across the country for over 28 years.
