If you don’t like your situation, you should change it. If you don’t enjoy full-time programming, figure out why and change it or do something else.
I was in your situation once. I started remote contracting, then moved to a developing country where I could live on very little of my country’s currency, then started working less.
Instead of feeling stuck, start exploring all the different ways you could live. Here’s some examples to get you thinking:
- Get a remote job and travel and live in cheaper places.
- Figure out how to earn more money with programming. You’ll still be in the M-F grind but you’ll have more money.
- Downsize and live with roommates or parents, so you’ll save more money.
- Join a Buddhist monastery and live with no bills or job at all.
- Work part-time. Make less and live with roommates, but have more free time.
- Consider other ways to earn money besides programming. Become a personal trainer, do landscaping, work at a cafe, teach language classes, become a chef, write ebooks, there’s so many ways to earn a living.
