I hear this SO often. I get fired up inside and my first thought is always F. U... at least I have a job!? Are you kidding? Am I suppose to be happy that I'm doing something i hate so I can live frugally to save a little more for... What... retirement?

Don't get me wrong... I'm thankful to be working and making more money than a lot of people but this is not enough.


Does anyone get the same response?(Just be glad you have a job) Am I wrong in how I'm feeling or my perspective?
