20m making good money but I hate my job.

Context started working full time out of high school for a machine shop 22 an hour in Ontario Canada, I did that for 1 year before getting a new job opportunity.

Then me and my girlfriend moved to a town a little out of my original city, 40 minute drive. This is where I now work.

I work at a paper mill making 36.30 an hour and I have more money then I need now I’m currently saving $450 a week, have 0 debt, and my monthly overhang is under $1000.

Basically I’m stuck in I really hate my job it makes me feel depressed, but I’ve also never had this kind of financial freedom before. It’s a weird spot cause I’m grateful but I also do not like it.
