Does anyone else feel like they’ve been living the same week over and over again for years now?

Every week it's wake up, make food, get ready for work, work, go home, spend a few hours doing nothing until it's time for bed to rinse and repeat. I know this narrative has been said countless times but it really does feel like I just lost a year of my life and nothing has changed. Every week it's track my money, track my food/weight, track my spending, track my work hours, track my investments, I'm just so sick of keeping track of everything, but if I were to stop I know it would throw my whole life off balance.

I just feel like I'm working to live life as being nothing more than content with how things are going and not much more. I've got my savings, I've got hobbies, investments, friends, family, and everything I need to live. It just feels like it could be something more, but nothing around me is changing for the better and I soon fear that contentedness with life will slowly degrade as working doesn't even stand to cover basic necessities.

I fear the day I get kicked off my parents health insurance and have to pay for it myself because the field I work in does NOT offer any benefits that won't eat your whole paycheck. I get paid good money to do basically nothing, but that's where the perks of contract security ends.
