By and large,
my thoughts after showing each others numbers is that everything is relative.
I live in a bigger house...but I have a bigger mortgage.
I have two cars.
I have 5 people to feed.
I can not say whether my life is any better or worse than anyone elses.
I do not anticipate an easy go of it either when we retire, but my decisions over the years are basically the reason why. We reap what we sow. Grace is in how we deal.
I was never promised a rose garden. But I have tilled the soil anyway.
