In fact I deliberately missed this year gathering so that I dun have to sink into the occasional depressive state. I am much happier now.

Don't compare with others who are more successful than you. Look at those with less. Count your blessings. Be happy that you have a home, a wife and a child. Don't take these for granted. Stop going to all these reunions, they are just events for egoistic people to boast.
Happiness is not about how much you have. Those with fortune may not be happy as they always worry about losing their wealth, they may have rocky marriages and their children have strained relationship with them due to years of parental neglect.
Invest your time in nurturing loving relationship with your family. This is more meaningful and lasting.
