I don't let it depress me anymore. I had to let it go. I work with someone who is 68 almost 69 who has no idea of how to retire. I have family members who have no idea that paying off a house early is something you can do. They are focused on the deduction. I have family members and friends who think we are cheap because we don't eat out yet say how lucky we are that we take really big trips when we do go somewhere. It isn't luck. We both worked many years and really focus on manageing our money. Of course, if we worked very low paying jobs we would not be here but I work in an industry, as does DH where we make decent money. Not spectacular but enough to live a nice middle class life and retire mid fifties.
I have given up. I just live my life, smile and don't make many comments anymore.
