[quote=Anonymous]I grew up solidly middle class with big dreams and aspirations.Due to career choice and who I married, it looks like I’ll be living a normal solidly middle class life. This is all hunky dory except...all of the girlfriends I grew up with are already living extraordinary lives or are about to do so due to luck and/or who they married.

I live paycheck to paycheck in a tiny apartment. DH and I have boring unremarkable middlemclass jobs. Our idea of a fun date is to go to Wegmans on Saturday.

Friend A who grew up LMC and was a legal secretary is married to this multimillionaire and is now mistress of a huge estate and her husband bought them a new country home this weekend. She is oh so casually talking about looking forward to building a pool and having horses and I nod and find it incredible how her life turned out.

Another friend is marrying a creator of an app who is also a multimillionaire.

Another friend was a waitress who met her trustfujd husband at work and is now so happy and loving large.

We were all at the same place 5 years ago. Literally everyone I know has moved on in an extraordinary fashion but I’m still here living my ordinary life doing my horrible commute and stressing over money. Help me not be jealous and resentful. They just got lucky. I didn’t.[/quote]
