Since starting full time career life my happiness has really gone downhill.
The amount of time spent working is not worth the money in my bank account.
Not even able to afford a basement apartment in my city.
Still have student loans that I’ve even barely made a dent in.
No chance of being able to afford a vacation.
Absolutely no chance of ever being able to afford a house or anything other than renting.
In order for me to be able to move up in life at all I would need to take on a job that would require more time and responsibility. I would need to work my life away even more than I am now.
After 3 years of working full time and barely moved up at all financially, it’s really killing me.
I feel stuck. I realize I only have myself to blame for where I’m at. But honestly I thought I was doing the right thing my entire life.
I worked hard in school and got a good diploma in an engineering field. I thought life would be good when I started working and making my own money.
It was the opposite of that. Worn out after each working day. Barely any time to fully relax until it’s time to go to sleep and start the routine all over again.
I would love to hear your story if you felt the same way, or if you were able to achieve an alternative lifestyle.
