To retire. I’m not even 40 yet but I dread going to work every morning. I don’t even hate my work - I just don’t feel like even the relatively good salary I get is enough to compensate for the lost time.
I took 9 months off work (well kinda I did some freelance shit but I mostly got to not work). I did eventually get bored but it took 6 of those 9 months to actually get bored lol. It may have been different if I had enough money to do whatever I wanted but, I had enough to survive.
I think I know what you mean. I’ve hit a phase where time spent at work feels like wasted time, since it’s not time I got to spend doing something I wanted to be doing. Which is really contrary to the usual philosophy that time not spent money is wasted.
I’ve switched jobs gone back to school etc, but no matter what once something becomes a mandatory routine that time feels like a waste. I’m starting to really value and cherish the seconds I actually have control over.
This feeling gets worse when you realize that the time we have is a limited, non-renovating and exhaustible resource. We give this away for money over and over until we run out. Depressing as fuck.
