What is the point of living if you have to work 3 jobs just to survive?

I work 3 jobs and can still barely get by and I really hate work.

I dread going back to work on Monday and cannot fathom working for another 30 years or even until I die.

I understand what you mean.

I have 3 jobs before and it sucked and now I just have one job and changed my way of living.

I was previously living in a nice house with a mortgage and was working 3 jobs just to afford to live and keep up with the mortgage and bills.

Finally after 10 years of working those 3 jobs I decided to sell the house and downsize and decided on converting a portable shed into a small house on some rural land.

The money I made from selling the house and saved from paying the mortgage bought the portable shed, materials to convert it to a nice little house and paid for the land and a well to be drilled.

Now I live minimally on 10 acres away from neighbors without any mortgage or water bill or sewer bill although I still have to pay for propane and electricity but I would not go back to a bigger house with a mortgage to pay for another 20 years.

I now work only one job and could work part time if I wanted but for now I still work full time and am saving money so I can eventually quit work all together or just do part time work at home.

Working 3 jobs is terrible and nobody should have to work 3 jobs just to survive.

I also grow a garden of vegetables as well which is fun for me and saves me money on having to buy some food.
