How does everyone find the energy and motivation to go on with life, when all we will do is work to be able to continue working until we die? we can’t afford most of the things that make life enjoyable and we probably never will.

Struggling with life as all my energy goes towards working or struggling to do the things that make it necessary to live (cook, clean, laundry, shopping, exercise etc). There are few things that make life enjoyable and most of them require time and/or money. We might be lucky enough to buy a house one day, but we will spend our lives working off the exorbitant mortgage and its unlikely we'll ever see the quality of life the boomers have in their retirement. I'm exhausted all the time and I'm struggling to see the point.
