So true. I have enough money to pay for my apartment, hobbies, new technology etc. I know that a lot of my friends earn 3 times my salary and to be frank, it eats me up inside.

I have not yet found a good way to combat this feeling.

There is this saying that your income should be the mean of your five closest friends’ salaries - is it different for you?
