You have ups and downs, at least you've been up there, most of us haven't. I have always worked these 8 hour a day jobs, and worse I had to go home worrying about the job, things I'd left undone etc. Right now I am unemployed and I live in a country where there is no welfare, so basically I'm scr*wed. But you have to believe things will get better, and right now I hope they will get better for you and also for myself. Remember money isn't everything, but it sure helps.
You hit the nail on the hammer with that one!
Good luck to you and your journey also
