Luxury cars often collect dust at Dubai’s airports. Expats abandon luxury cars in the United Arab Emirates because they can no longer pay the loan. The police will then auction the abandoned cars.
I don’t understand the meaning of “Joneses.”

“Keeping up with the Joneses” is a usual thing in my community. There are advantages and disadvantages. For advantages, people will work hard to improve their living conditions. While for disadvantages, jealous and cynical people will be around you. -
