It's like seeing a guy with a hot girl and you think how can I get a hot girl. Just get the girl that makes you happy!
There are many, many things in life that I'll never have or experience
This topic made me realize why potd trolls seem to hate me so much. Should have been obvious I guess
Because you have a tendency to be an insufferable c***? Yeah, that's always been pretty obvious.
you think that about MOST people as far as I can tell
Used to, not so much anymore tbhSame. I used to get kinda envious about other people that seemed to have everything go right for them in life but as I've gotten older I've learned that you should be satisfied with what you got and realize that there are many things that are simply out of your control. But I guess it also helps that things are better for me now than they used to be. It's just not worth it to be envious of others though. Things aren't always as great as they may seem for others as well

i need a good job and 1.5 mil in retirement by the time im 60 or il be toast.
There is that constant concern of whether or not I will be able to retire comfortably in my 60s without worrying about finances for the next 10-20 years after. I am been shifting more funds toward my 40k, mutual funds, IRA, etc. and can only hope in the next 30 years, I put in enough.

But I've mostly though that about Clench since 2004.
Like Jen, he has days where he's not so bad. And then he has days when he's even worse.
I finally upgraded her to a blockShe did that to me herself because Alexa Bliss isn't a porn star.
I don't know why everybody is so obsessed with retiring at 60. If you're looking forward to retirement, it's probably time to find a different career.

I would imagine I would keep working until I mentally cannot handle it anymore. I just mentioned 60s as that is the range when retirement benefits can be withdrawn without penalty.
How can you be content with anything if you spend all your time comparing yourself with others?Whenever I need to be humbled I watch informative videos about space and shit. Reminds me how small we are...
Stop taking count of what you don't have and start taking count of what you do have.
I can guarantee it is a whole lot more than what a lot of people in this world have access to.

Theres no guarantee your mind or body will be capable to perform at a high enough level in whatever field you're in. you dont wanna struggling at 60 trying to make it
Yeah, I remember you mentioning that story. Wtf?
because I'd have to work EXTRA hard and invest a lot of boring and suffering time to 'be worthy' of that girlfriend and put on a fake personality to be interesting to them potentially and no doubt you'll have to deal with their day to day *****ing.
Same thing with getting a better job and more money. You gotta think about the time invested. Sure there are some people who get free rides on stuff and EZmode in life but those people have got to be few and far between. There's usually a breaking point on where the effort just isn't worth the time invested for you personally. That doesn't mean to just not try at all, but to know where the ideal medium is that's worth it for your life. I mean they do say happiness peaks off with money at X amount of wealth too.
Nope. I have everything I want.Save for ruffles.
tc, what kind of stuff are you jealous of that other people have that you don't?

I said I envy folk with this I'm not jealous.
Jealousy vs. Envy
Depending on who you ask, jealousy and envy are either exact synonyms, totally different words, or near-synonyms with some degree of semantic overlap and some differences. It is difficult to make the case, based on the evidence of usage that we have, for either of the first two possibilities. Both jealousy and envy are often used to indicate that a person is covetous of something that someone else has, but jealousy carries the particular sense of zealous vigilance and tends to be applied more exclusively to feelings of protectiveness regarding ones own advantages or attachments. In the domain of romance, it is more commonly found than envy . If you were to say your salt-shaker collection fills me with jealousy, most people would take it to mean much the same thing as your salt-shaker collection fills me with envy. But if someone made a flirtatious comment to your partner, you would likely say that it caused you jealousy, not envy.
From a semantic standpoint, the two words seem almost alike. The difference is less about meaning than context in most cases >_>
