I have a warm bed, roof over my head, and food on the table.

I’m able to take 1 or 2 vacations a year with proper budgeting.

Like everyone else, money is tight right now but I’m maintaining.

Why do I feel unsatisfied? Routinely cycle through depression at the monotony.

I don’t love my career but it pays my bills. A career change to ‘do what I love’ would be ideal but the career I’m interested in doesn’t pay enough to survive (social work/therapy unless your a psychologist which is a lot of schooling to commit to when I have bills without getting into the debt of student loans).

Can anyone relate?
