I'm going to guess that the money has nothing to do with it.
You use $ as a way of keeping score and when you hear of others making more, you feel like you failed.
Bad news - no amount of money will fix that.
Good news - you can change it today with a real healthy and honest talk with yourself (and good friends who know you) to find out how you should define success.
Put it in your own terms. For me: I found much more happiness when I made a little less but increased my autonomy. It was huge for me. Like Night and day difference in my happiness.
Hope that helps
- banterfoil 8y agoWhat do you mean by "increased autonomy"? Could you give some examples of what that looks like? Thanks

Being able to chose the projects you do and pass on some (not all - but for God's sake - some) that are less interesting. Being able to decide who you work with (no arrogant and demanding know it alls).
