What you focus on grows. The more you focus on what you don't have, the more dissatisfied and unhappy you will be. I promise. There will ALWAYS be people who have more than you, no matter how rich you become. There will ALWAYS be people who have less than you. The competition is never-ending, leading nowhere.
Also, you are comparing yourself to an illusion. Many of these rich people are insecure, worried that someone is going to take away what they have and are not even able to enjoy it. Anyone who is focused outwardly for happiness will not find it, because the only lasting happiness and peace comes from within. The good news is that this real happiness is free and unlimited. Just be sure that you are looking in the right place.
Why not focus on what you do have? As someone else mentioned, do the gratitude exercise. If you spent as much time every day feeling gratitude for what you have as you do comparing yourself to rich people, you would be a very happy and satisfied person.
