Guilt & embarrassment over salary

I grew up lower-middle class / poor and was rarely around people with even upper-middle class levels of money. I worked my ass off to get free college and took a crap ton of debt for law school. Now, I'm in my first year as an associate and struggling with the idea that I make 3-5 times more than my parents, childhood friends, etc. To be fair, a lot of it is going towards loans, but this much money honestly feels a little obscene sometimes. I am proud of myself for getting here, but part of me also feels like I sold out and abandoned my roots. Anyone else struggling with this or have any advice?
