Anyone else feel weirdly guilty making more than friends or family? I worked hard to get here, but every time someone mentions money, I downplay it. It’s like success is something you’re supposed to hide.

Time for a therapist

nobody has time to think about anyone else. it’s all in your mind - be yourself and be happy / content with what you get to make.

I don't understand feeling guilt over something like that. As long as you're not involved in something unethical, and you earn the money honestly, that just doesn't make sense. I think it's tacky for people to flaunt their success, but I don't see it as anything to feel guilty about.

Being humble is not a bad thing. Be proud of your accomplishments, but know the line and read the room. I’m genuinely happy for somebody when they make more than I or are just better off. I like to think the same happens in return for me with people I know well.

As someone who has watched their family struggle financially their entire lives, I do feel guilty sometimes about having a certain financial stability that they may never have. And I also recognize that this is a “me” problem, because my family has always been super supportive and proud of my accomplishments. As a woman of color, and eldest daughter, I think some of this may be a cultural thing for me that should probably worked out with a therapist. 🙃

I recently was let go (in lieu of accepting my two weeks) and I should have received my March expense check by the end of April per the employment agreement (submitted the report April 1, let go before mid April).
