Bah, it's all relative. I, by no means, will ever make light of any problems I have - or anyone else - simply based on the fact that we live in the first world. Sure, the fact that I have a car is considered a "luxury" in many places, but I'm still going to bitch when I get a flat tire that strands me out in the middle of nowhere. Abject poverty is a reality, it always will be a reality, and as much as I feel for those in certain countries who have little to nothing - that still doesn't mean I don't have the right to feel bad when things annoy me or piss me off or hurt me. I'm a staunch opponent of wealth envy and capitalist guilt.
I agree totally with this. People will always want what some else has.

On to this guy's complaint, I don't disagree with his plan. I'd advise anyone to focus on themselves and what they can do to make their lives more stable, productive and happy in their own right. Only when you have a solid, strong foundation in yourself can you build any real relationship atop it.
You could consider I have that solid foundation for a college student. As I have a part time job, a car, going to school full time, and have a career path pretty much laid out for me.

Not to be trite, but men and women are attracted to confidence, stability, a person who's generally happy, etc. Who honestly wants to date someone who is insecure, or constantly depressed, or who has skewed priorities? Take care of yourself and your life, and you'll be surprised who notices your progress.
I agree. But if you focus to much on your self and your life your going to not see that girl that took notice of you and wonder if you stop and took the time to look around every once awhile if you would have seen that girl that did took notice while you where making your way to the top of the ladder.
