Look at it globally. Sure there will always be someone who makes way more than you, but you make more than 99.9% of people on earth.

I remember very clearly thinking in undergrad if I just made 50k/year I would have everything I could ever want. Roof over my head, TV/cable/internet, some $$ to take the ladies out and buy concert and sport tickets. What else could there be?

i know a centimillionaire who complains about being cash-strapped. he lost a lot of money during the financial crisis that he didn't recover and his peer group includes billionaires.
