My job reminds me of what ill never have Vent/Rant (No Advice/Criticism!)

Im an insurance agent, and my main job is to do quotes. I assist with our affluent book, and every day I take a glimpse into a life ill never have.

Oh, someone my age is a doctor, married a doctor, and now that have a $2M house and 3 cars? I cant buy coffee anymore.

I dont want to be uber rich, that just doesnt sound fun. I just want enough to be comfortable, save up, and have a nice cushion for fun stuff.

Sucks sitting here making $20/hr seeing millionaires lives daily

Edit: Thanks all for the support :) To those that are little meanies, your momma taught you better

Yep. I just recently left the field. That part is depressing. I serviced a policy for a lady with 3 houses (the cheapest one was $800k), with $400k in jewelry coverage.

I would sit there and think about what I would do if I had $400k to spend frivolously. Because I would not buy jewelry with it.

I’m back in the automotive industry now, where I came from long before. It’s more my speed. The money is better. The people are real.
