It's ok. Other ppl know what they're doing may not nec turn out
to be the right thing later. You may be muddling through now, but
you never know it could lead you to something good later. As long
as you are learning something useful, it's alright.
As for material things, have to accept. Wait till you work and save
up for the things you want lor. There's nothing wrong with being
less well-off, just don't get into debt. It could be teaching you
to be thrifty, whereas those well-off ones are spending like no
limit, which they may regret next time.
ps: my connection is slow.
