Do you often wonder how your batchmates/school friends before have better lives?

To be quite honest I think some of it may be just you. No disrespect. I think we always expect too much from ourselves. We all budget our money in different ways. Maybe they could have inherited money from relatives. Who knows what their circumstances are. The one thing you have to keep in mind is that you make your own money, by yourself. You take care of your own business. Just because you may not take elaborate vacations, drive expensive cars, or showboat your riches, doesnt mean anything. Who cares what anyone else thinks. At the end of the day you are the one who can go to bed knowing that youre and INDEPENDENT WOMEN indebted to NOONE. TO ME, That makes you the most successful person out of the bunch! dl

Sometime it does make me wonder "what they did that I didn't?", and its annoying how their life is all well while mine is.. um.. well, my life?

I should not use this word but there is a "black money" involved to have that kind of fun. We people work so hard to get money and we can hardly save them for future. I have many families here in my appartment who are living royal life. All of them are in Govt services and I know that their salaries doesn't allow them to have that kind of life but they do take bribe and all. Moeny which comes without any hard work, are used in such enjoyment!

I know how it feels. But we just have to accept that there are people born with financially secured families. So these people usually inherit a family business or have started their own succesful ones. Sometimes if they are married their partner is the one that is rich thats why they can afford this kind of lifestyle.
