- ...great car.
- ...great job.
- ...beautiful wife.
If you examine your life you are doing well:
- Little to no debt
- People who love you
- A side gig income that nearly matches your 9 to 5

Continue celebrating your friends successes, but keep in mind it is not a competition. True friendships are full of support, and inspire you to be better than you were.
