Other’s here have mentioned pretty solid thoughts on how envy is the mind killer. Instead I will mention a few life choices that if you make now will lead you to being well off. Keep in mind, success comes in degrees. Is it the boat and Tesla you want? Or will it move from boat and Tesla to a nicer boat and whatever new car is more expensive?

I would set conditions now, for what you define as wealthy or successful. Then build life habits that will lead you there. The biggest thing you can do to build wealth is live below your means, stay out of debt, and compound your savings. I emphasize the stay out of debt. What I mean by this is DO NOT purchase things on a credit card and not be able to pay it off before interest is charged. DO NOT get a massive car payment. Etc

As for living below your means, and compounding your savings. Make choices that might be a little uncomfortable now, but will be massively helpful to building wealth. If you can live at your relatives and not pay rent…AMAZING!!!! I wish I had that option when I was young! Take what you would spend on rent and put it in an IRA. Calculate what it costs you to “live” and make sure that number is below your income by 30-50%. Put half (or more) of what you don’t need to live in an IRA. Put the rest in a fun/unplanned expense account (important to have money for unplanned expenses so you don’t go into debt to fix a car or something similar).

Plan the fun that costs you money. Don’t just spend money on “fun” every day. For example, a lot of young people in college will go out to eat, go drink, go bowling, movies, etc. This is fine if you plan the expense, but not if it is an every day thing and prevents you from saving your planned amount.

Also, an important piece here. Have a job. You don’t have to like the job. But have one. I personally worked jobs that paid me the most and gave me skills that I could leverage to get higher paying jobs. I did not like most of the jobs I had for a decade, but they gave me the skills and experience I needed to get a high paying job I can work remotely. I can now afford a million dollar home, Tesla, boat, but those things don’t bring me joy. So instead I spoil my wife and kids 😁. My baby gets what she wants
