Yeah so this goes beyond finding a partner or having expensive hobbies.

If you're influenced to make major life decisions based on the perceptions or perceived perceptions of your peer group at the cost of your own well being and capabilities...you're going to have to bad time.

So basically fancy way of saying peer pressure sucks. Until you get over it and stop caring that type of anxiety is not going to magically go away if you start making > $60K or even $100K. Because now your friends have leveled up and started making more as well and have moved on to even more expensive hobbies.
