I'm going to guess that the money has nothing to do with it.
You use $ as a way of keeping score and when you hear of others making more, you feel like you failed.
Bad news - no amount of money will fix that.
Good news - you can change it today with a real healthy and honest talk with yourself (and good friends who know you) to find out how you should define success.
Put it in your own terms. For me: I found much more happiness when I made a little less but increased my autonomy. It was huge for me. Like Night and day difference in my happiness.
