The only measure that can be "fairly" compared how well one is doing, is to gauge the income level. Assets/cash wise should be viewed with caution..eg. no one will mention how much their parents contributed to their first or second pte property when they bought at "the lowest point" or whether they got their car as a gift (therefore saving 100k over 10 years).

Therefore there's no need to feel upset, depressed, or accuse others of posting fake numbers (though this is a possibility as well) once we remember that most ppl are not completely honest when it comes to their assets.
