As your money scales down, you may have to do a few more things you hate ;)
However I think it might be easier to find joy in things you hate vs just hating them :)
That is arguably the key to happiness :)
I have a cousin who lives in a rough neighborhood. I don't mean scary looking, I mean bullets flying and blood soaked people walking down the street at night (literally saw that the last time I drove out of there). When I was a kid living there, I always thought to myself there's got to be something better and I hated the area. They choose to embrace it. Now, years later, streets are as dangerous as ever. They're still there and I found something a lot better.
I had a few lucky breaks, but I was watching for them and I didn't let it pass me by. My wife did the same, moved to entirely different countries and learned the language there. We treat our jobs the same, when we find it's something we hate, we work toward fixing that. We talk to management about issues that come up. We job search when we have too. We don't give up, we work toward something better.
I mean, its not so far catched if you have no kids & wife.
That doesn't mean I should keep doing things I don't like...
But there used to be a lot of stuff I hated doing that I've been able to ditch. I probably could have written that point in a more realistic way.
