Invest where you are and beyond it. Maximize your 401k, maximize your role, and don’t let your salary be the ceiling on your ambition.
If you’ve got goals calling your name, let purpose be your fuel and discipline be your pace. Envy fades when you’re in motion. Stay locked in, stay building, and get so consumed with your own elevation that comparison doesn’t even get a seat at your table.
When I started as an FA I had been a teacher for 2 decades and never had money troubles. Yes, I had to get a second job when I first started, but I did not see that as a big deal. I got my Masters, and lived fine.
Then I started as an FA where I had to listen to rich people and pretend to care about their "problems." All I heard was out of touch people complaining about their privilege not being as big as it should be and having no gratitude for their positions in life or their blessings. I could not relate to their stories.
Luckily I was able to change firms to one that focusses on the middle class. Now I feel like I am actually helping people and making a difference. I do not earn what I could have at the other firm, but I will not complain about that because I willingly took the trade-off, plus I am still in the mid 6-figures, so I am still blessed to live this life.
If you are young, maybe stick it out because you are building a career and need good experience. Otherwise, if you have the experience, look for new opportunities that better match what you are looking for. Life is too short to have a job you do not enjoy.
Also, do not compare yourself to others as comparison is the thief of joy.
how do you like your role?
