Maybe you should have shared your feelings with your friends. I just got back from a trip and visited some friends from college. Once we got past the pleasantries of not seeing each other in almost a decade we started on how our life is now. It felt good to share our collective feelings on career and life and no one was there to judge me, some of us wish we could exchange lifestyles (more vacation time, more money, more exciting cities).

This is why I consider my friends from college to be my closest buddies. We all entered the world in the same socioeconomic position. We've all experienced similar problems so nothing is ever a first world problem for any of us.
