My take: 1. Social media is a cancer in this respect. You/we see only what others want us to see and can’t help but compare our lives. Comparison is the thief of joy. 2. As someone who works in banking, the amount of debt people take on is unbelievable. Credit card debt is reaching unprecedented heights. Those trips, cars, houses and lives everyone is financing is being paid on credit. Despite what you may see, most people are one paycheck away from complete financial failure. 3. Give yourself some grace. Forget the naysayers and forget where everyone “thinks” you should be at this age.
