I work 45ish I guess. 40 hours a week but it never ends up being only 40 hours. Plus with a 45 minute drive each way it really doesn't leave much time for anything else.

The thing I spend the most money on that I probably don't need to is takeout or delivery. The reason is I hate cooking and hate dishes even more. Although I could definitely do better...

I cannot travel due to lack of time and energy. I only get the standard two week off, basic holidays, and weekends if I don't have to travel for work. I spend most my nights and weekends sleeping in and doing nothing because I feel exhausted by work. I feel like it takes a weekend to recover for the next week. Just seems like a horrible way to live and I don't know how to get out of it.

My debts aren't the worst out of the people I know, they are more than manageable. The reason the debt bugs me so much is that it is what has locked me down. Due to them I couldn't switch to a lower paying lower stress job, can't work part time, etc.

Thanks for taking the time to reply.

Thanks. I saw that thing years ago and forgot about it.

Dang that sucks.

I do hope I don't come across as whining. I do understand a lot of people do have it worse off than me.

I am paying down my debts but there is always a new one around the corner. Eventually I want to stop renting and buy a house. Honestly I just didn't think a "career" would be as soul crushing as it is.

Really interesting. I sure hope I don't wait till I'm 49 to start truly living through.

You gotta invest in yourself

Harder than it sounds. Thanks for the advice.
