Being a college student and currently supporting my mother and I, I often feel what the author calls FOMO, or "fear of missing out." Every time I go on Facebook or Twitter, I see my friends having a great time doing fun, entertaining activities with their group of friends. Even though occasionally I'm invited to their excursions, I have to politely decline since I'm usually working on the weekends, and inaddition, I simply do not have the capital to go out anyway. I've gradually gotten over it though once I came to realization they, my college friends, are simply spending their parents hard earned money on essentially nonsense.
It's also quite possible that you have a more fulfilling life. Just because people are gallivanting hither and thither does make their lives better.
Also, the hard work your doing now may aid you in later years with a work ethic your friends might not have. Which will instill you to work 3 years straight with-out a break on your amazing startup and retire at the age of 29. ;)
