few disjointed thoughts: 1) ditch the friends that aren't self aware ("I made a $1m on my house in one year") but not the ones that want to spend time with you and are just talking about their life 2) its relative, all relative, I'm sure they have friends that they're envious of, and i suspect if someone gave you $10m and gave all your friends $50m you might still feel the same way 3)separate the material things from the feelings your experiencing [1 below] 4) don't focus only on the money, would you want their spouse, health problems, family, work-stress etc? 5) find other ways to reciprocate with your friends without feeling embarrassed/that you can do cheaply, invite them to a beach picnic, or bbq in the park etc. [1] when i was junior professional my peers all had fancy watched (either purchased or given to them) and i was envious / wanted to blend in - i was given some good advice, and instead of buying a watch to blend in I put the money into a discrete mutual fund, that i could redeem at at any time to buy the watch...after a few months of sticking with my casio (but knowing i could buy the watch)...i didn't really care about it any more and wasn't envious/self-conscious anymore...it was all in my head.
