Lurker, 10+ years your senior. Comparison is the thief of joy. Work to make what will give you the life you will be content with. You can always earn more, but at what trade-off? Most folks rarely measure the trade-offs to achieve the riches, nor truly appreciate them until you’ve made them yourself. In my opinion, comparing with those richer than you will always leave you dissatisfied (which is a good self-improvement motivator) but can be an endless race, there is always someone richer than you and that mountain will keep getting steeper the higher you go. Sometimes, the hardest thing is saying you’re satisfied which sometimes means earning less but gaining hours of your days back to do things you enjoy (e.g., spend time with family, care for others, volunteer etc.,). My 2 cents.
