Remember that we all tread our own path and struggle in our own ways. Someone further along with their savings won't have your parents, your friends, your memories, your special places, your favorite hobbies, music, books, and so on. They might also have demons and skeletons that you wouldn't want to touch with a ten foot pole. And even they will find others who are even further along.

I hope you learn to love yourself and stop comparing yourself to others. Perhaps you might get more mileage about comparing yourself to where you were an year ago. Good luck on your journey!
The Japanese call it "reason for getting out of bed in the morning" and without it you die quickly.
Very few people in practice can maintain that reason without having some kind of obligations or similar to others (people, pets, plants etc) to meet. Seen many, many say otherwise, very few actually able to do it, barely a handful.
The important thing is to spend some time coming up with reasonable goals for savings and retirement that will meet your needs, and get to work on those. If you’re like most of us, you won’t get rich overnight but rather over decades.
My biggest fear is losing my job. Even though I hate my job, I need it to support my family. I have no real options to switch jobs based on the tech I got into.
