"Keeping up with the Joneses" is a phrase applied to competitive acquisition : trying to have all the new things that your neighbors have. For example, if your neighbor gets a ride-on lawn mower, then you must get a ride-on lawn mower (or a bigger one) to keep up with him. This is a basis for status among materialistic individuals.
