Are we all just exhausted in perpetuity?

The only thing keeping me going currently is my 2 days off on the weekends and my girlfriend. This seems like such a shitty way to live. I make just over 6 figures, but even at a high savings rate, I’m unlikely to retire before 60 given current cost of living. That’s assuming healthcare costs don’t dramatically increase and social security is still around in 40 years. I absolutely hate the fact that every weekend, I tell myself I will accomplish more during the week and then every night, my girlfriend and I are exhausted and just end up watching TV or playing on our phones. I feel like I can never get ahead and I’m always playing catch-up. I used to think that changing jobs would change things, but it doesn’t. How do people live like this for 40 years?
