You might skip this article if you reject any of these key assumptions:

1. You "live to work" rather than "work to live." Your personal fulfillment is derived from your utility as a workplace tool.

2. Your job doesn't damage your mental health and finances every need (e.g. food, shelter, utilities, healthcare, savings, furnishings, vehicle, debt repayment, etc).

3. You have sufficient leisure time to satisfy personal desires & obligations (i.e. connecting with your partner/friends, hobbies, caring for family members, chores, parenting, etc).

Unfortunately, for myself and everyone I know, these premises are deranged. But if they resonate with you, then work until you die! Live your best life!
