I saw a post on HelloTalk from a Japanese person mentioning how he would like
to just get a job by being the boss's son or something, and I started thinking
how to say, **" It's not a thing (i.e. life situation) worth being envious
for"**

My current version is in the title, so, I would phrase it something
like,「それは、羨む価値のないものだと思います。」For my "extrapolation" I used this example from
Jisho:

> ある時代の最も洗練された審美眼によって美しいと考えられたものが美術館にはたくさんあるのだが、それは今の私たちには **価値のないもの**
> に見えるのである。

I assume we could use こと as well, but it feels that in this case, it's about
feelings, so もの is more appropriate (my understanding of the 使い分け of こと/もの is
still fuzzy, though)

So, my question is basically this: **is my version grammatical/natural and
does it convey the idea of "not worth being envious for" well?** What could be
better options, including maybe the more colloquial expressions?
