I think you are winning OP. Can’t go far wrong if you enjoy what you do and are comfortable. It’s all relative of course and many people in the world dream of minimum wage job opportunities.
My old man always used to say “there will always be those better and worse off than you.”
As mentioned above I feel sorry for those that have tied millstones around their neck with large car loans etc.
I’ve been lucky enough to get some good pay rises over the last few years. I’ve made a really effort to avoid lifestyle creep.
