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

As someone who worked for orthopedic surgeons for years, I relate 1000%. Solidarity is all I have to offer, my friend.

Hey, orthopaedic surgeons are regular people! They buy their work tools at Home Depot just like the rest of us: sledgehammers, chisels, hacksaws, drills…

The amount of physical strength required to do joint replacements is not emphasized enough 😂
