Harnessing that "extra time" you have is really the key here. (You don't need to quit your other job at this point it sounds like a breeze for your skill level)
Once you accept that you need to get moving on the rest of your life i would find a job nearer your home or sell and move to gain that time back. (A house to live in is just another possesion as far as im concerned) (even if your salary went down)
I run two businesses that net me a combined 150k income. While this isnt retirement money it has been growing yearly by leaps and bounds as each business grows. (3 years ago 60-70k)
The devil of work is exactly what you described.. not having the ability to affect the outcome no matter if your work is good or bad!
Find a company that will let you code for results driven projects where hours arent a concern. It's not important what the project is your objective is to free up even more of your time by being an awesome coder for this new company.
I convinced my CEO to pay me yearly plus bonus based purely on hitting our growth goals. No time sheet, no punch card. I haven't missed a goal in 3 years and I never dedicate more than 30 hours/week to the business. (But it grows) (key is hiring good people)
With my spare time i started an indie video game studio which now employs 25 people and has about $1million revenue this year. (Approx 30 hours a week)
The key is harnessing that extra time..
TV doesnt exist. No sleeping in. Realisitc quantitative goals are set and hit every month.
Once you get into goal setting its the most natural thing in the world.
You can do it.. don't accept being tired and stressed!
Take action today. I do all this with a wife and a 2yr old at home!
I have the right to say.. NO EXCUSES!!
Cheers!!
