Personal rant about life

I feel like I'm just working till I die. Not particularly passionate about what I do, it's just a job. My kids see a Dad that isn't there much. When I look in the mirror I see someone who's gotten older and is back to being as financially screwed as I was in my 20's.

I'm to young to feel like I'm waiting for death, to old for.... I'm not even sure what. Starting over again, again? Little interest in a lot

You only have a few options, since you dont want to try a different job, invest, save to make sure that you reap the fruits of your labor, do what you have to in order to retire. Unless you work 7 days a week, then you make time for the kids. Its the small things, do some things together, even if its just quality time, board games, shopping, go to a park, it doesn't matter how old they are, they understand that you have to work and that everything that you've sacrificed for isnt free. Its true what they say about Happiness being a state of mind. If you were dirt poor and homeless living in a car with these kids you could still take them to a park, play a game etc. .count your blessings, be thankful that you are able bodied to work like you do.

@AngelUnforgiven I work away more than 7 days a week. It takes a toll on my mind and body
