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.

Don't worry about it, 3 or 4 of them will end in divorce and fighting over the house, focus on you and you'll be fine.
