I have been struggling with this very issue (i.e. not comparing my life to the lives of others) lately, myself. In my case, I look at people who have popped right out of undergrad and into graduate school without missing a beat; people who don’t have to worry about debt or loans (for whatever reason); people who are 5 years younger than I am and already working on advanced research degrees while I’ll languish in an office trying to save up some money so that I can go back to school _someday_. It’s especially present in my mind lately because I have to make the decision of whether it’s worth it to take on more debt in order to go to school now, versus waiting another year and saving a bunch of money. I think I’m also making peace with just living in my own life, doing what’s right and good and healthy for me, and worrying less about how I compare to other people. I think it’s a good way to increase the likeliness of satisfaction in life

Good luck!
