But your quality of life is actually better. More advanced medical care, more access to information on improving yourself, your career. Tons of opportunities to try new things using online training that was never previously accessible.

The only difference is that this new level of connectivity also is showing (if you're looking) how everyone else is doing and allowing you to constantly make quantitative comparisons. Now you're aware of what everyone house on your street is worth and where all your rich friends are taking vacations. But you don't have to buy into it. Stop counting other peoples' money and you'll be much happier.
