Turning 38, and I absolutely hate working. I have a good job, home, kids, wife, all is good on the surface. But I'm dieing inside. I hate my job, I'm a PM it bores the living hell out of me, but I can't quit, insurance is too good and my fam obviously relays on me providing for them.
I wish I could be a baseball coach full-time or work at the grocery store, library, or even not at all.
IDK if it's because I'm nearing 40, but I'm so sick of working. I have 0 motivation and I find myself doing the bare minimum. I have no desire to be promoted, never will I go back to school. Im just feeling like I'm over EVERYTHING.
No advice needed, I'm obviously going to continue with the life I've made for myself, but damn, I fuckin hate working.
Sometimes I wish the "end of times" would start so everyone can start all over and come together as a community to make a better world (if we survive). I'm not suicidal but sometimes I'm just like not in the mood to do this anymore....
Am I alone feeling this way?
I fully understand this probably comes off as ridiculous and I'm rambling, but I guess it helps telling the Internet that I'm sick of working.

I can totally relate to you. About 8 years ago I had an amazing acid trip and had a lot of the same realizations. 6 months later I quit my nice corporate job and started my own company doing carpentry.
I looked at it like if nothing matters and it's all meaningless, why not do what I love and work for myself instead of some other asshole.
Many weeks I only work 4 days just for that extra time at home with the kids. They are 10-11 and are like sponges for knowledge right now.
