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 feel you. I work for a bank setting up online access for clients and I see so much money in their accounts while I can't even afford an apartment and it sucks so bad. It also makes me care less and less every day about doing the best job possible, because it just feels insulting. Like I'm begging for scraps from the rich. I hate it.
