[quote=Anonymous]I think social media definitely doesn't help the comparisons - whatever the age. I'm in my 40s, have a great family and middle class lifestyle, but there are many neighbors and some friends who always have more. The bigger house (or multiple houses), the fancy vacations, personal trainer, elite private school, blah blah blah. I try to remind myself that you never know what is going on behind closed doors, but it often gets to me. I've always worked hard and whereas we are really fortunate, what I've found is my friends in their 40s are dealing with the same struggles I am even if outwardly they are successful and happy -- demanding job, elderly or dying parents, your young kids with their own struggles, and your own aging/lack of time to devote to oneself. You get tired in your 40s of keeping up the quick, constant pace of demanding careers and caregiving. There is a lot to be grateful for, but it doesn't mean it's always easier. [/quote]
