Earlier this year I was making $75k as an FA and now $90k as an SFA in OC which is pretty much market value (4yrs exp - 2 in B4). I wanted that raise to $90k for a while and now that I have it, I catch myself thinking about wanting more & more money, even though I have more than enough to live out my means. Anyone else think about this often? And how can I stop?

I find that being intentional about practicing gratitude in your thought life and meditating can help. Volunteering and giving back to the community is also helpful! Don’t worry, a lot of people deal with the same thoughts and feelings. It’s good that you’ve caught yourself early!
