My friend is pretty well off and buys branded stuff and goes for exotic holidays. My husband doesn't earn that much and we can spend very frugally. This makes me sad and jealous. I am getting more irritable due to this reason. Help me out..

My husband doesn't earn that much as well, so I do smart budgeting so that all expenses are settled. If there are excess, I save them for future needs. For you to be happy is that you must learn to appreciate and be contented of what you have right now. Branded stuff can wait. If you can't afford exotic vacations, then do what you can afford for now, like movie date, picnic and the like. Atleast you have a responsible husband :)
