I feel the same way! My Monday blues will kick in every Sunday at around 7pm or so. Unfortunately, I don’t really have many options when it comes to changing jobs. The job industry in my country now isn’t ideal. However, since I’ve written this particular post, I’ve managed to change my mindset about my job. I’ve started to become more grateful for the good work-life balance that I have. For the boss who likes me. For the chill environment that I’m in. So while I still get Monday blues, this mindset change has helped a lot.

Another reason I don’t want to change jobs is because I know I will end up hating it as well. I just don’t quite like the idea of having to work for someone else, you know? I want to work for myself. But at the same time, I need to build up my savings, and having a corporate job is the easiest way to build up a little bit of savings.

Anyway I really appreciate your concern! It’s very sweet of you 🙂

The minimum hourly rate in Australia is high! In my country it’s like $7 an hour, which is pretty little. I think even America has a higher minimum wage than this.

But when I think back I used to get Monday blues very badly. It kicked in every Sunday around 5pm. I felt same way on Monday mornings. But I did enjoy my job and loved my co-workers. I also worked in Finance.. but to think you feel this way every single day is sad. Is there a way you can change jobs in same industry or different all together and still earn the same wage, if not more, until you reach your Freedom Day?? You mention you still have 2-3 years to go and that’s still a very long time to be so miserable.. can you do a course on the side and get a new skill , anything you could do would be better than staying so stuck & miserable as you currently are..

the hourly rate in America is so low I don’t know how people survive. Just to give a comparison in Australia a factory worker in manufacturing & warehousing earns around $22-$26 per hour (before tax), so a corporate office worker in finance and others would earn more than that..
