[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I'm in my mid 40's now and went through similar feelings of envy when I was in my late 20's/early 30's. My husband is in a field that isn't high earning and it used to be bother me and I felt envious of others supposedly perfect marriages and lives. Since then I've seen a lot of these "perfect" marriages implode. Now I am so happy and thankful to have my husband-a good guy and someone I am still attracted to and have fun with. I have a lot more perspective than I did 15 years ago.

Social media blows and for the most part is a waste of time. Limit your time on social media or get off completely. Focus on your own life. If there are things in your marriage that you can work on, focus on that or work on improving your finances, etc. If you love your husband and are happy other than the financial aspect don't waste time wishing you were with a guy that made more money. Seriously. I look back and am really thankful that I didn't let my envy re: money influence me to throw away or ruin a good thing. [/quote]

I am 34 and also not a better person than OP.  Guess what, I got off of Facebook and really do not struggle with these feelings of inadequacy anymore!  My own life is busy enough and making your life the way you want it to be is work.  I am happy with my life and kids and working hard to make the changes I want to make as an individual and in reality without social media in the mix I don’t really have a lot of time to dwell on other people.[/quote]
