Well then stop doing it. If you can recognize it within you then you can adjust your behavior. It's trite and cliched, but sometimes positive thinking actually works. LOOK for things that can move you forward.
Money (income) is something to live with, not live for. Just my opinion.
Stop doing what? If I was a normal person, I wouldn't have that problem. I can't pretend that everything is perfect, when it's not.
If you were posting on a forum where no one else was dealing with the same difficulties then you might get some space. But there are people posting here that have managed with autism AND survived abuse, co-morbid disorders, chronic physical ailments and a host of other problems. A common theme for those that overcome these challenges is to not submit to them but to fight against them. Part of that is simple attitude adjustment. If all you look for is the crap in your life and in yourself, that's all that you will find. It is absolutely true that your Asperger's adds significant challenges to your life. It is also true that this is unfair. And it is also true that ultimately the only one that controls how you deal with it is you.
So what are YOU doing do improve your lot?

Money is an annoyance. It is certainly not "everything". Thinking in such absolutes will bring you no end to misery.
