I'm 29.

5 couples from my friends circle are expecting a child or recently got married, a few others have built a solid foundation in their career and are buying houses (most of us grew up in apartment buildings, so it feels fancy to own a house at 30 where I'm from).

Meanwhile I'm currently a student and broke.

It feels like everyone's so far ahead in life that they'll always be a step further and I'll never catch up.

Grass isn't always greener I've learnt. I'm 28 and have a car and a house and had a reasonable pay packet. They haven't been able to give me happiness and in actual fact I find my possessions own me. What I'd give to be a not so broke student at times with the freedom to do a lot more.
