I appreciate the perspective - but in my opinion continually lowering your standards (at this point below even average) to feel okay with my situation is what I've done in the past and it's only resulted in a bigger hole / closing off more options. I don't want to make a million dollars a year - I'd just like a normal 9-5 even 9-7 job that provides enough to live a somewhat normal below average life. It's insane that in 2025 this is seen as an entitlement or something that shouldn't be relatively common.
