Lifestyle creep 

Lifestyle creep refers to a phenomenon where an increase in income leads to an increase in nonessential expenses (things you don't really need).

When this happens, things that used to be luxuries become your new normal, you perceive them was if there essentials.

This phenomenon can start a loop:

You get a raise, so you have extra money.
You have extra money, so you spend more money.
You spend more money, so you live check to check.
You live check to check, so you work harder.
You work harder, so you get a raise.
Person A: I just got this huge raise, any ideas on what to spend it?

Person B: I think you should save it, lifestyle creep is easier to prevent than to stop.

A person who does anything to achieve their lifestyle goals. A person who will leave their partner if they don't provide a high enough lifestyle like their rich friends, who will abandon their loved pet because it gets in the way of their "good life" and who puts their fancy lifestyle interests ahead of their children too.

The degree to which individuals are able to live their life the way they choose to. To work at what they love to do, to be in a relationship with or married to the man or woman they want to be married to, to live where and how they want to live, etc.
