Sometimes when I read posts
My point is be happy you have a spouse or partner to argue with.
Be happy you have a home to heat.
Be happy you have lost weight that you need smaller clothes.
Simply...be happy with what you have...not what you don't have. And don't forget to make the most of what you have as well.

well let me just say that some people ared just naturally jealous, and they still appreciate what they have the just bust thier butts to get what they want... Its your choice to only have that much money.... this is your life and you have made it the way it is... Noone can change it but you... You have to make the best of what God has given you.. Also I dont know what ur situation is or why u have to pay for your surgery but there are alot of people that pay for thier own stuff.. Including thier surgery... Its something you want in life and you have to work at it... Nothing is for Free.. Unfortunatey Most of us dont need to make others feel bad about our lives we just need to vent a little... and that is what this place is for... If you thought this might have taken the wrong way maybe u should have never written this...

"Stop complaining about what you don't have...be happy for what and who you have in your lives."
Your last line says it all. And yet I understand what you meant. I am, by nature, a complainer, and yes, a jealous person. I get it! I have many of the things you mention, but that does not stop jealousy. Some of us will be jealous no matter what we have or don't have. And some of them (me) will complain about the stuff we have.
Instead of complaining about it, I am trying to learn to be happy, as you suggested. I should be happy that I have a house, so should you. If you can't afford to eat out, then be happy you can afford to eat at all. You have no spouse? I have one that works in another state and gets home for 28 hours a week, we have 4 children that I am raising alone for 6 out of 7 days. It makes being single sound like a nice idea to me.
I do know what you meant, honestly, but take your own advice. It is hard no matter what you have or don't have, and it is always easier to judge from a distance. My "Perfect" life (the one where I can have wls and afford plastic surgery too) comes with a price. We all make choices, and they come with outcomes. No one's life is perfect.
