  1. thank you for sharing this! it is encouraging, and not easy to be vulnerable, especially with something as personal as ~*feelings*~ and personal finance!

  2. Hey, this post really hits home! I totally relate to the struggle of feeling jealous when friends seem to have it all together financially. It’s so real when you mentioned that we often compare our behind-the-scenes with their highlight reels. That really opened my eyes—especially when you pointed out how social media turns everyone into a “rich kid.” It’s so easy to forget that everyone’s journey is different and we can’t just measure success by bank accounts.

    So here’s a thought: how do you guys deal with these feelings of envy? Do you think it’s helpful to talk about financial struggles with friends, or is it better to keep it to ourselves? I ask because I feel like normalizing these conversations could really change the game for us. Just a thought!
