Do people have to live lives similar to yours in order to understand you?

You kind of have to accept that “a lot” of money is kind of relative. What you consider lots of money might not be for others.

Also would it give you peace of mind if you tried to feel happy for other people? Someone else always has more than us. We just can’t escape it

Nothing wrong with looking for a therapist with a similar life style. Like certain age or gender or other details (I wanted therapist with immigration experience for example). That’s understandable. You focus on finances a lot though, not being happy they are financially better off than you. It’s just something you probably have to accept.
