Do you have long term goals and aspirations? When I was in my mid 20s, I heard about "financial independence" and at that point decided to spend my next 10 years saving and investing. This was a goal I could see the progress as I went along, and I didn't have any need to compare to others, only myself year over year. Incidentally, I dropped all the spending habits women are pressured into in service of my goal, which also helps me not compare myself to other women.

It could be a lot of things: a degree, a promotion or certain position, a hobby, a house, a family. Whatever it is, I felt like I really grew and grounded from making a 10 year plan. It was the first time in my life, becoming an adult, that I considered my future and what I wanted it to look like.

Best wishes.
