Look at it globally. Sure there will always be someone who makes way more than you, but you make more than 99.9% of people on earth.

our cohrot is educated UMC yuppies. in that group, 250k is probably below average. it's not like we are comparing ourselves to bill gates here

I remember very clearly thinking in undergrad if I just made 50k/year I would have everything I could ever want. Roof over my head, TV/cable/internet, some $$ to take the ladies out and buy concert and sport tickets. What else could there be?
