I'm not like my high-class friends. They travel the world and spend money on brand name items, events, once in a life time experiences and I find myself not being interested in those things. I cant bring myself to justify spending money on things that won't necessarily bring me fulfillment. Am I unhealthy for not craving these types of things especially in my 20s? I just enjoy chilling at home, playing video games, cooking, reading and laughing with family/friends. Once when I told them in the future I'd want to be a housewife if I ever found the right man... they were disgusted that I'd want children and be dependent on a man. I can't help but feel inferior to these people in the way they react to me. Am I actually mentally unhealthy and I'm supposed to be acting similar to my strong, independent women friends?
You have this thing called different interests so no, you are NOT mentally unhealthy
Your friends have different interests and goals from you, neither is mental.

We live in a dark world if people get disgusted by the idea of a woman having beautiful kids and being a happy housewife.

It's literally like this with every chick I meet or became friends with throughout my life
That sounds sane to me, the type of girl I'd like to find when I get older.
You shouldn't just give up on traveling though, you meet a lot of cool people while traveling and awe is a powerful emotion that we rarely get to experience otherwise.

I like traveling close to home, I'm just too scared to travel anywhere else. I wouldn't want to visit any tropical places with diseases, scary creatures and the heat. I would have went to Europe, but considering the state it's in...that's out of the equation.

Are you US person?
Because as an EU person, I think US is even worse

Instead of thinking of your tastes in the negative, present the positive case for doing what you prefer to do - to yourself, to help you feel less "unhealthy" and to them, to make clear that you are not settling for less but choosing what is of more worth to you
