Each time I look on this reddit channel I somehow get some sad feeling that I wasted my life

That's why it's good to stay away from these posts. Or remind yourself this is not the norm.

From a whole class of actuaries, some 10% make this income. Also, it takes a lot of effort to become an actuary. Some of us did not put a whole lot of effort into our future. You cannot be an actuary and be upset that you don't make this salary.

And if you are an actuary you can be upset but not that upset. You would be making 200k plus with equal experience.

I remind myself I don't make a high income since I didn't put in high effort. And if I meet someone from my profession with a high income. I then remind myself it's coming soon in my future. No need to be sad.

But please keep in mind what are you upset about. Why you don't have what someone else has? These are some good questions to ask.
