Am i bad person to feel like this?

So recently, my college got over and now it's time to join a job. I graduated from a tier 1.5 college.

Due to my less gpa i got placed with a comparatively less package as compared to my friends. All my friends have a slightly better salary than me. It's like almost a 5k-20k difference between theirs and my salary.

Now I feel very weird ( maybe jealous ) about this feeling that everyone around me is doing better than me in terms of salary.

Am I being a jealous insecure person who feels like this?

( PS - It's not that I haven't tried to get a better job, I did actually try and even cracked one and even spend 4 months in the internship, but due to business constraints I wasn't offered PPO. The offer that they would have given was way better than every friend's current salary.)

How to deal with things like astrology in a relationship?

So me (24M) and my gf (23f) have been together for around 1.2 years. During this, she sometimes comes up with astrology or tarot related which somehow is always against our relationship dynamics.

I genuinely don't believe in all this, and we had a talk before also about this and she promised that she won't talk to any astrologer about our relationship as it creates a false image of it.

She always becomes tensed about our relationship whenever she comes back from her astrologer, and keeps going again and again even after promising not to go. I always reassure that there is nothing like that and it's all false but she doesn't believe it.

I do love her and see a strong future of us together, but due to this astrology thing, its creating a gap between us as she always doubts me after coming from the astrology session.

I am always ready to reassure her, but this thing is getting bad.

So me(23m) and my gf(22f) have been dating for around 1.5 years. For a little background, both of us come from very diff background, she is more from a richer family and I am from a middle class family.

We both are very compatible in terms of everything except for expectations and reality. For example she expects me to do everything a pinterest or instagram boyfriend does. And tbh I do everything as far as I can, as far as my pocket allows. But I don't feel validated by her at all by this, and she doesn't seem satisfied by what I do for her.

Like once I got her flowers and the first thing she did after getting them was to tell me u got me wrong flowers, these are not what i want, it's quantity is less, it doesn't have fragrances etc etc. Whenever I bring anything for her, she in general tells me this is not good quality and she doesn't like this. There have been few instances like this. I brought it with all my love for her. I travel all the way from my house to her house every time, which is around 15-20 km and takes me around 1 to 1.5 hrs. Although she does acknowledge this.

Also we have very different views on finances. For her spending 500 rupees is not a big deal, but I have to check upon it, manage my budget and then decide whether we should spend it or not. Like not every time we meet we can go to an expensive cafe and spend thousands.

I feel trapped by these expectations and fulfilling them all the time.
