I had an incredibly comfortable life working at Google while hating my job. I was making excessive amounts of money, they provided food, job was incredibly relaxed, pretty much there were no worries in life. On the other hand, I felt like I was going insane because I couldn't stand it. I was working on a web application. I'm a security engineer with a passion for low level code. Web work and the Google code bureaucracy (read: mature software development practices) were so frustratingly dull. That is how your life can be comfortable while having a job that you hate. I now work part time remotely (not for Google). I go on trips as often as I can. I'm working on work that I'm engaged by. I am making less money, but life is tolerable.
