Yeah, I think it's just "moving the goalposts" or the "hedonistic treadmill" or "comparison is the thief of joy." When I turned 34, I made a list of (fairly attainable but significant) things that I wanted to accomplish before turning 35 last year. I mostly did those things, and I know that I objectively have more to my name than most of humanity at this age, and I'm in a better place than I imagined being at 20, 25, or 30... college degrees, seniority in my career, married, kids, 7-figure net worth, still healthy and fit... but it just doesn't feel like it. I mostly just notice the people who have accomplished more, or have a nicer house, or have more time to do what they want, or have a better family situation in some way.
