I have been told this by quite a lot of people recently. I can only think I come across as the world's biggest Debbie Downer.
I don't think I'm depressed, but perhaps more realistic. I'm 34. The reality is that I will be working for another 35 years. So working 5 days a week, with 2 days off for the rest of my life. My weekends are spent cleaning or being hounded by my kids to play. We do have a holiday each year, go out for food etc, but it's just short term enjoyment.
How do you learn to 'live in the moment' and not wish your life away when actually it's going to be a long old slog until I can retire and even then might not be quite as able bodied and can't make the most of it?
