Is it normal to think that my friends are losers?

I like all my friends, they are really nice and I feel blessed by having their company. I don't want to badmouth them... I am actually more concerned about their well-being.

I met them when I was much younger, in carefree and stress-less days. But now, I am in my mid 20s already. And even though I am not a very ambitious person, I want to achieve a good quality of life. I want to have a good salary at least. However, it surprises me how completely devoid of ambition my friends are.

Most of my friends got their first job and inmediately settled down. They don't even think about studying or develop their careers any further. They are very conformist. They spend all the little money they earn in games, electronics, clothes and parties... which is not that bad I guess, since they are happy doing that... but they truly don't seem to care at all about the future. Most of them are still living with their parents and the ones that live alone don't invest anything in their home.

I want to study abroad to get a master's degree. Afterwards, I aspire to get a nice job. Unfortunately, I don't think my friends and I will stick together after that, since we would just have such different lives by then that it would just stop being comfortable. In fact, even now, they don't really support me. They actually mock me for wanting to keep studying and they also say that I am very "greedy" for money.

So... is it normal that I think that my friends are losers?

    Good for you!! You gotta surround yourself with people who have goals, dreams, who push themselves to be successful! It might be hard, but in the long run you are searching for your financial independence! Thta's what I do. My friends are realstate brokers, business owners,I myself have my own business. You gotta look out for yourself. Best luck to ya! :)

    You want me to say "oh that's right, you're so cool for wanting to go to school and get lots of money". But all I can see is that you think they're losers because you're such a loser that you lose sight of who is and isn't a loser.

    Don't trip over on your shit personality on the way out you greedy loser.

    Haha.

        And so are you, and you will stay that way due to the five percent mostly being born into it. The vast majority of successful people are still in the 95% lol. You not knowing this to begin with is not a good indicator of future "success". You're going to work five days a week, with no time to even enjoy money. Society has been carfully constructed to condition you to want to succeed in business, and it isn't for your benefit you fool.

        But all of those facts aside it doesn't matter what you earn in life because "you can't take it with you".

        I however, will be famous. A hundred years from now they'll write books about me, make films about me. You can waste your time and die a nobody in a business suit. So you can keep your percentage dream that you'll never reach, and even if you do, you'll still be a nothing. I plan just as you do, but I intend to win.

    After reading only the title, I was going to say that I don't think that you are a very good friend for saying that about them, but after reading your whole story, I actually don't think THEY are very good friends for mocking your life's ambitions like that. I think it's normal that you aspire to be something more than just mediocre.

    Perhaps they should not tease you with your life choices, but you should not do the same towards them. No one on this earth live the same lives and have the same reality. You cannot expect them to be like you, It's their mind,their choices and their point of view. As long as they are still happy and healthy there is no reason to ''worry'' as you say while calling them losers. Maybe you do need people who are more like you, that's completely normal. You are simply different from each other,what is wrong with that.

    I do slightly understand, I just think, You know, it's their life now. What they choose to do is their choice. Let them be. And they're still pretty young, right? Some people mature faster than others. They might grow up. Maybe they're still in their college years XD

    I am in the same position. Just keep aspiring to greatness and don't let your friends keep you to their level.
