Yes, yes, blame the other crabs in the bucket. That's the way to the top, for sure.
Also, the "woe is poor me & my wholly unique predicament" trope is yet another spoonful of bullshit you've been fed. We're all underpaid, overworked, and unlucky — and no one is different in that. Begin the sympathizing with yourself, and see we're all against the fucking world out here.
You do you, at the end of the day, though. The only thing at stake is your happiness.

Hey, if you've got all the answers, what's the problem, guru?
Gluttony and materialism, I'd say. We all could have rich and wonderful lives. A few percent of us want more. And they try to make the rest think that that's the right thing to do for everyone, even if that's technically impossible.
I'm pretty sure that's the root of all evil. You are welcome.
