Details: 26, fit, 5'11. Make 60k a year.
I have a ton of insecurity about this income because of a couple reasons. I spend a ton of my income paying down my student loans and car. After that, it'l all be going into retirement so I can max all of that out. So even after my salary increases, it will all be going into retirement until that's completely maxed.
I'm worried I can't attract high quality women since I will always be middle class. I think of all the middle class people I know and I compare it to ballers. Characters on suits, the wolf of Wall Street, etc. I'll never have that. Life is a competition and popularity contest, and I'm doing decent, but doctors are going to make 2x what my salary will likely max out at. That's why it's the top few % of people able to get with the most beautiful women and live the best lives. Looking back, I'm full of regrets. I should have gotten better grades, and gone to med school or Wall Street where money would never be an issue.
I want to do better than my parents, and because of my degree, and my life choices so far, I'm likely to do about the same. Middle class, driving a Honda Civic. This will always limit my SMV, and I'm only average looks so I don't have that to fall back on.
Just looking for some advice.
