keep up with the Joneses 

Basically, it's an expression used to symbolize jealousy across the neighborhood and the need to keep up with each other. It's usually just technology, but the subject can be changed to lawnmowers, cars, etc.

Sometime in 2001...
Joseph: Dad! May I have the PS2?
Dad: No, you still have your Nintendo 64, right?
Joseph: It can play DVD's.
Dad: Okay, be prepared, I'll drive you to the Best Buy.
Dad, this time on his mind: I'll have to keep up with the Joneses!

I’m surprised that he actually keeps up with all the bill now that he moved to his own place!

keep it up 

If said in a cheerful, praising tone, it means "You're doing great, continue the good work!"

If said in a warning tone, it is a threat that means "Stop it right now, or reap the consequences!"

Praise: Wow, you've lost 35 pounds on that diet! Keep it up!

Warning: I have had all I can take of your whining! Do you want a spanking? Keep it up...!
