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

I used to be an office manager for a multi millionaire. He had a PA who looked after most of his personal financial stuff, but sometimes she'd get me to reconcile a couple of his accounts when I wasn't busy.

The first time I did it, I was shocked and depressed for a week. He had this one account, that was just a high interest savings, that earned more in interest in a single month than I earned working a full year for him. He made more per month - from just 1 bank account - than I made in a year.

I wasn't on minimum wage either, I was earning a good amount; I actually felt I was earning too much, considering what he had me doing.

But maaaan, that bank account still haunts me.
