Worked at big tech, was allocated a bunch of stock that would be 1.5 MM today. (M/35)
Unfortunately I made some bad calls in life, like investing in certain ventures that didn't take off, overspending on a few items.
Long Story short, I sold a bunch of these in the past and I'm left with 400k. All my friends are millionaires and I feel like I'll take a decade to catch up and others will just keep getting wealthier.
I feel shitty about myself and a bit hopeless about everything, unable to sleep or be happy in the moment. With AI looming around the corner I don't even know how long I'll be able to draw a salary.
Sorry, I know this is a very first world problem. But I needed to vent out because the regret is real
