Isn't it frustrating to have to work to earn a living till we live? I find it like a bondage. What do you people say?

Well, sweetie, I would love to be able to work.
I am ill and disabled and mostly bedridden, and would give about anything to be healthy, including working.
Count your blessings.
And try to find something you love to work at.

Well, you're not born with a silver spoon so that's your case. Much like the majority of us. But look at the positive side, at least you have the privilege to work. You finished a degree so that you can land a better job, if not, at least you are not disabled and not discriminated and are allowed to work. Some people don't really wanna stop working at 60 because they say they get bored when they're not working. They don't wanna have a sedentary lifestyle after 60 so they try to find something else to do. I heard a law student who's beyond 60 years old, and a practicing doctor at 80 years old. Man, these should inspire you.

I was aware, at an early age, that my parents "worked" so I could have a place to live, clothes to wear, and food to eat. I don't believe my parents were "frustrated" by the fact that they were "working" to provide for me and my siblings.
Frustration occurs when you do what you believe is "the best you can do", and the "ugly beast" rears its head, and your "world" collapses; you lose your job, your wife loses her job, your child gets sick, and you don't have medical insurance, your spouse dies and there is no life insurance, a Tsunami devastates your country, a tornado destroys your town, and you have been a "good" person all your life. That is frustrating!
I was a teacher for 30 years, and am still working (substituting). My husband is 67, retired when he was 62, has no hobbies, and watches tv all day. He is frustrated that he is not working!

No I don't find it frustrating. I've taken long vacations in the USA and overseas, and taken time off work just to stay home and do things around the house. In both instances I find myself ready to "get back in the mix" after a while. I guess you just have to find a line of work that peaks your interest.

I used to say "Boy I will be glad when I don't have to work anymore" Well I got my wish...I have Narcolepsy which is a sleep disorder and fall asleep without warning. So at least you are able to earn money .

I hear ya. Makes you think of Jo-D Messina... Gotta be something more. I love my work, don't get me wrong. But it would be nice to stay home with no obligations if I wanted to. I am with you. I feel stuck.
