Personal/financial success issue:

Trying to figure out my life. I work a job I'm starting to hate because it's dead-end, but it pays well for what it is. Mentally exhausting though.

I haven't had time anymore to find something else, and to make it worse, it's not tech-related (in a broad sense, not just FAANG).

I'm kind of stuck where I am for a bit, but it pays the bills. I don't want extravagant, I just want a small place, far out of the way. Not into the "Van Life" thing though.

Your situation is pretty common actually, unfortunately.

Keep learning new, valuable skills that will never expire and will only compound your value and keep applying for new jobs while you already have your current one.

Reduce consumption, invest as much as possible in indexes/tech stocks.
