How much older is your SO? Is it a problem?

My DH is 4 years older than I am. Sometimes I get really frustrated that most of his friends have houses or apartments that they own and are more financially and professionally secure than I am. But then I have to step back and tell myself that they mostly 4-5 years older than I am. If I had 5 more years of work experience, I would expect to be making more money too...

Any one else feel like this?

FH and I are the same age, but I have the opposite problem. We're pretty young (I'm about to turn 23) and all of our friends are still just livng this crazy carefree life, and we're planning a wedding, planning out how and whenw e're going to buy a home, when we're going to have children,e tc, so I feel it's distanced me from my frineds..but I can make friends who are more along my pace, who are suaully older, and my friends will eventually catch up

Im in the same situation. I just turned 22 and FH is 24 and our friends are still in the party phaze. We have bills and jobs we need to worry about, meanwhile, 90% of them are still living at home and partying everyweekend.
