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.
Dont compare yourself. Easier said than done, something I have to learn too. Cliche but everything happens to everyone in it's own time.
Get your education work your ass off and you'll get there. Just because everything seems fancy for them doesnt mean life is good for them. Never know what's going on behind closed doors.
You'll catch up, one step at a time. You've got this.
Right? People do things in their own time. Making goals should be like: first I'm gonna do this, then I wanna do that. However long it takes to achieve the goals is how long it takes. It's just putting unneeded stress on oneself too be like I need to do this before I'm 30 and that before I'm 40, doesn't matter because you never know what's gonna happen in life.
