How do you psychologically get past the feeling of “being behind”

I know, objectively speaking i’m not necessarily “behind”. I’m 30, about 100k invested and 20k liquid, no debt.

So i know in the grand scheme of other Canadians I’m not doing THAT badly, but i’m also not doing exceptionally. I still feel quite behind.

I see the numbers I’ll need to retire comfortably, and they’re just so bloated and well into the millions it feels unreachable. I just stress about how much money I’ll need to retire, and if I’ll ever be able to own/buy my own house and it just … never feels like enough. No matter how much I save and invest, Im doing the best I can but it always feels like I need to be doing more.

Curious if anyone else has these feelings and how yall talk yourself out of these anxiety spirals?
