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..

Don’t feel jealous even though I know it’s hard and jealousy is a human nature reaction when you keep seeing your friend being able to buy lots of branded items and goes for exotic holidays. Remember always that everyone is different, we have our own ways and methods to survive end of the day. Nothing to compare actually and I believe most or less many of us have such friends or relatives who can always afford a better living standard but still it’s nothing, when their good days are over, they have nothing too. Isn’t that more sad by then? They used to enjoy great quality of life and suddenly everything topple down and make them poor? It’s better than you are frugal and save more for rainy days than those who spend endlessly & mindlessly on branded items etc. We are here to enjoy our lives happily not buying having lots of great items in life, we can also live happily and properly through meagre means. And if you are willing to hard enough, I believe you can enjoy better life quality too. Life’s tough enough, so why worry more for such thing? You’re making your own life miserable and hard by comparing all the time. I rather spend my time thinking about how I can earn more and raise better kids. Think again. Nothing else matters than your health comparing and competing with someone who doesn’t worth this. Thanks!
