Spending hours a week working. How depressing. We’re labour slaves.

I know how to count my blessings. I’ve been lucky in life.

But can’t ignore the gnawing work, work, work, week in week out. It’s always there bubbling under the surface.

I agree. The work/leisure balance seems all wrong.

Yes I work but I meet friends, laugh and have fun too. I'm doing a cooking course after work today.. we eat what we cook.

It is depressing op. And both my parents died before retirement age so I do wonder if I'll ever get to the age where I'm not spending most of my life working.

I mean yes? What do you do outside of work?

As it is for millions of us.
