Do you get jealous of the fashion/lifestyle bloggers and house features in luxury magazines?

Definitely not jealous of fashion bloggers or lifestyle bloggers, but definitely the nice houses. I would love to own a beautiful home, with a modern kitchen fitted beautiful finishes and one of those luxuriously tiled showers. Envy and jealousy all stem from dissatisfaction with one’s own life. And I absolutely admit that I’m sad I don’t own a nice house yet. I’m working very hard on it at the moment (should have $40K saved up for a down payment by the end of next year) but in the meantime, I’ll look longingly at other people’s homes.

But yes. The wealth disparity is disgusting. And Americans underestimate how bad it really is.
