Knowing that you HAVE to be somewhere, at least 5 days out of the week and for at least 8 hours a day makes life already suck. Obviously I realize that you have to work to survive, but why not simply… survive to survive? Humans thousands of years ago didn’t have “jobs”, they were keen on self-sufficing, foraging, hunting, migrating.. just being alive was enough. Where did that go? Why can’t we just be happy with living, eating, socializing and we as people being our own livelihoods? I think things would be a lot better, rather than working some shitty job you hate and saving up for that new pointless material object to show off to your shallow, hollow “friends”.

Capitalism, I agree I really hate the same routine. What bothers me even more is knowing that I could be out there meeting hot girls instead of being stuck at work. But we have to work to survive, unless you make a shitload of money already. It’s something I’m working on-looking to start a business so I can be free.
But then, who would make all the plastic crap for everybody else to throw away?
Try to find a job you enjoy. Keep changing jobs so you don’t get bored. Find a new venue to make money. Whatever you can. If you have enough tenacity you can make your situation damn close to the one you envision.
It sounds like you’re not a materialistic person and that can make the idea of accumulating materials seem stupid. It sounds like you should look for an industry in which you can work creatively with others.
The basic principles are still the same. They just compartmentalised things.
