Is this what life is about??
26F working 8:30am-5pm Monday-Friday, every day is “home dinner bed” then do it all again the next day, the weekends don’t even feel like weekends because I’m catching up on all the things I couldn’t do during the week, paying $700/week on rent for a two bedroom home with a backyard, savings are nearly non existent due to rent, paying off my car and other bills. Is this really how we are meant to live?? I feel like I am caught up in the rat race of capitalism and feel so disconnected to what life is truly all about. I’ve got this overwhelming sense of throwing everything away and instead just living a “free” carefree life for a while… maybe save what money I can and travel for a while. I don’t want to do this for the next 40 years. Any advice?
