No. Whenever I start to feel pangs of envy, I remind myself just how very fortunate I am. Then I am simply thankful.
There will always be some that have more and some who have less. This pertains to People, relationships and other things, not just material stuff.

Sadly and honestly,yes.We have been struggling in my family.We're living in someone else's breaking down house.No central air(I live in Southeaster Louisiana),we're in debt because of doctor bills from my surgeries(from a car accident caused by my older brother being drunk who is living pretty cozy now.Just got a job as a cop.) and my fathers' from his blood condition.My little sister's at that age where she hates everyone.I have no car and my friends are away at college...we lost touch.I have no real bed,I sleep on a futon mattress.It's not that bad though.It could be far worse,but you get bitter sometimes you know.

Yes, sometimes, and I think that's only natural. But I also remember that there are plenty of people who don't have as much as I do, and happiness doesn't depend on material things.
I look at my own life and realize that I am truly blessed.

At times. I am more envious than jealous I would say. I always go, "If I had their wealth, I would have built orphanages; I would have helped the children in Africa; I would have helped the elderly..." that is what I usually feel and say.

No. But I do hate it when people have more than me and still find a way to complain about something. Humans are never satisfied.

Not really. I'm pretty contented. The only time I get envious is when I see someone who has something (or someone) that I really really want and they, clearly by their actions and lack of care don't appreciate it (or him).
