People do when their money is literally all they have going for them. I have a family member like this. Not a smart brain cell in her body and everything is about money, appearance, and looks.

You can do better than this.
Eh I Bet OP is real. Some people are truly dumb, vapid, and shallow and all they care about is comparing themselves to others. It's embarrassing really and OP should be ashamed of herself

Just today, I found out that one friend was violently assaulted (an apparent gay bashing) and is in hospital, I sent another friend a pizza because she doesn't have enough money for groceries, and a third friend found out that her husband has been sexting with minors.
All of these people are kind, educated and work hard.
Get some perspective.

Is your life really this sad that you need to make this post so people will tell you how good you have it? I mean this post is new levels of pathetic that I havent seen on DCUM. I'm thoroughly disgusted by OP and think she is a terrible excuse for human being. Utterly revolting.

Come hang out with me. I only make $75K and shop at the goodwill. You'll feel rich and superior again.

I would start a gratitude journal and write down 3 things every night before bed.

Graduate degrees
HHI of 300k+
A cute designer puppy
An apartment in a desirable location
Nice international trips
But sometimes, the envy bug bites. Both DH and I have siblings and friends who, for one reason or the other, seems to be a few steps higher than us on the socioeconomic scale. DH's sister married a wealthy investment banker and they live a very flashy instagram perfect life. My sister also married a rich guy and seems to have everything I have but a higher end version of it.
Meanwhile all of our friends are also well to do. Most come from family wealth so their lives get cushier as we get older.
How do you keep envy in check?
I know I am very blessed but...sometimes, I'd like to feel like the top dog instead of the bottom one!
Get back to us when all of you are in your 60s and 70s. By then, you'll see that no one gets a perfect, charmed life.

Have you thought about getting your puppy into underground dog fighting? I heard you can make a lot of money on rare breeds.
