I am now doing my own full time investing, not earning much but enough. I too had the foresight to buy 2 investment properties which gives me a nice passive income to feed my family.

You are doing ok in my opinion. What matters is you. Be proud of who you are, no matter what your friends say. Those who stopped being your friends are not your true friends.

Life is short. Spend your time more with your family. They are your true friends.
