In truth, you are probably "ahead of the curve".
People having easier lives at the moment might have harder lives in their next incarnation, in order to raise their consciousness.
Consciousness is mostly raised by suffering.
Perhaps you had your "easier life" last time around.
So really, God or life is setting you free.
Not much fun, I know (to put it mildly), but one day (perhaps in the afterlife) you'll be able to see the bigger picture and the secret of why there had to be so much pain.
