Recently, a new couple with no children moved onto the cul de sac, and everyone is taking notice. Both drive amazing cars, work from home, and leave their garage doors open frequently. Neighbors gather to peek into the sizable garage at any time of the day. The man often plants shrubs and puts up fall-themed ornaments on his front lawn in the late afternoon.

When the couple invites friends over for a barbecue and swim, they leave living-room curtains open, providing a clear view for curious neighbors. A few days ago, the wife invited the couple over, and they appreciated the gesture. However, both expressed that other neighbors have been standoffish, leaving the wife wondering why. Seeking advice, the wife asks whether to reveal that other neighbors are envious of the couple's vehicles and lifestyle or to remain silent.
