#C27500 Hello everyoe, I could use some perspective on my current life situation. I am 32 years old, settled in Coimbatore, and blessed with an awesome family life and a comfortable salary. I am financially stable—I have closed all my debts except for a home loan, which will be paid off in 6 years. I also inherited ₹50L, which I have fully invested. Everything looks perfectly fine, but honestly, I am absolutely terrified that I am missing something. When I talk to my friends and colleagues, they seem to be dealing with constant stress—family issues, desperately wanting to change jobs, and always chasing a higher salary. It feels like they constantly just want more. Meanwhile, here is my situation: I own an apartment and a reliable car. I am happily married with one kid. My income: ₹1.2L per month. It might be average for some, but it is way more than enough for me. My expenses: ₹40K for my EMI, ₹20K for groceries and entertainment, 30 for insurance and leaving ₹30K for savings. My wife's income: She earns around ₹30K as a junior school teacher. She works just 5 hours a day, and her salary comfortably covers our vacations and our kid's school fees. My daily lifestyle is incredibly balanced and relaxed: 8:00 AM: Drop my kid off at school. 9:00 AM - 11:00 AM: Gym, games, and family time. 11:30 AM: Start office work (WFH). If my schedule permits, I even take a quick afternoon nap after my meetings. 3:00 PM - 9:00 PM: Pick up my kid, finish up office work and remaining meetings. I always make sure to spend an hour playing with my kid and go for an evening walk before bed. My concern is this: Am I wasting my life? Should I be wanting more? Do I need to push to earn a higher income, or focus harder on climbing the career ladder? I feel like I am doing great and am genuinely at peace, but seeing everyone else hustle so hard makes me feel like I am doing something wrong. Honestly, even if I earned ₹1 Crore per month, I wouldn't know what to do with that kind of money. Would love to hear your thoughts. Am I being lazy??

If 0 stress , thenife is great , and I think you are doing good , growth is important but not at cost of your work life balance
You should also be doing your share of housework and cooking. Also, have an active part in actually raising your kid. Not just dropping, picking and playing with them. You won’t feel this now, but in a decades time, when all your friends have climbed the ladder and you’re still at the same position you’ll feel it then. Try to do an extra course or something now. Build your skills and portfolio. You don’t have to move companies but add to your repertoire.

Change yr friends for sure.... Choose friends who are allready there where you want to go, even if you want to go nowhere, but so that personal growth and oppurtinities multiple, Man is known by the company he keeps, in the long run....

Inviting problem
Can you please help me to get this kind of job? I mean WFH day time job? I am doing night shift in a very stressed environment. Work is not stress, senior behaviour is what gives me stress. I earn good but I can't take the stress. I can't sleep or live my life. Sometimes I feel like I will die with stroke or heart attack. I don't know politics to handle the office environment. I will work any amount to meet my daily needs. 🙏 I just want peace. Please guide me. If something happens to me my parents will suffer.
You certainly seem to be stressed about not being stressed. Quit your job and undergo therapy. If time permits, get into an extra marital relationship so that your wife can take the child and leave you. Make sure to indulge in some bad habits so you can waste a part of your savings and time in some multi specialty hospital.
