I hear where you’re coming from but think of it this way: you’re friend may have something which seems amazing, but she also has a different tafkid in this world than you do so maybe theres no need for you to have that specific thing. Example- someone has a huge house and ends up hosting people for neighborhood Simchas. Her friend who delivers packages for Tomchei Shabbos doesn’t need all that space, so even though she might like it, its not connected to her purpose on this world. (Am I just rambling here?)
