how do i stop being jealous of my friends who are supported by their parents? all of my money goes to rent and paying back my student loans and i can’t afford a car so i take the bus and walk. i try to act like it doesn’t bother me but it does :(

rebrand the lifestyle as “going green” and not contributing to overconsumption culture. if you can’t change your situation, just change your outlook (i’m doing the same bc im also supporting myself on v little funds)

I used to be this way but then I kind of realized having to figure out budgeting and other things on my own earlier than my peers is going to be helpful in the long run! It still sucks, but you gotta frame it differently

I agree with 1, I just ddciddd to stop looking at it in a bad light. I know how to prioritize my money and make ends meet. Do they? Probably not without someone to fall back on. But also the more you grow up the more it’s time to stop worrying about other people’s financials and where they get the money from. It’s not your business
