100% agreed. We all tend to make relative comparisons – this explains why the guy with $10MM feels poor hanging out with friends worth $100MM. Instead, if we look at our lives absolutely and judge based on our own personal benchmarks, we can live much more fulfilling lives.
P.S. In a similar vein, there was a great story posted to HN today: http://www.telegraph.co.uk/news/worldnews/europe/austria/7190750/Millionaire-gives-away-fortune-which-made-him-miserable.html.
Keep up the good work.

Nice post Matt, couldn’t agree more. Good way to put into words something I’ve been thinking for a while.
