Staying in your current job is not a problem, even if you feel uncomfortable. Sometimes what we need is not a pleasant job, but a job that can still provide us with an income.

Many people out there don't even have a job to earn money, and are still struggling to search for one. So we can stay with our current job while we search for others.

I saw that post on my Facebook feed and thought about it. It's true.
If we're still working in our current job, we're still luckier than those out there who are still struggling to find a job.

Don't waste it by thinking short-term about leaving your job before you can find a replacement. There will come a time when we can find something better than this.

So, hang on a little longer and enjoy what we have and be grateful for it.

note: I use grammarly to make it readable.

It's a good reminder that we can sometimes forget how good we really have it in life. I know it's a very personal thing, but even if you are on an average wage - if you are good with money then you can live a fairly decent life and even build some freedom for your future if you invest it wisely. If you're feeling unhappy then maybe it's not your money situation, you might need to go out more and socialise or find a hobby that you enjoy. You're right about preparing for the future and sticking with your job until you find an adequate replacement, don't just walk out after the pressure builds and it feels like you need to blow up one day. Remember to enjoy the little things in life as it can pass by so quickly.
Contentment in life will differ on each person because there are those who do easily get contented on what they do have and there are those ones who would be thriving to have a better life. Yes, its not bad to have those inspiration on making your life way more better but make it sure that you wouldnt be that overdoing it and compromise things specially on health. For me then I would be just that simply that wanting to have a life that it would be that debt free and would be having no issues or problems when it comes to finances. Who doesnt want to get rich? All of us would be wanting to become rich and having that kind of stability and freedom or simply we can buy all the things that we do want but sometimes our perceptions and wishes could be that leading out into desperation on which it will be that resulting into that too much engagement into something and even touch up into those things which are already that unethical. You should be that going into the legal things at least even if its slow and gradual but at least you wont be facing up any problems ahead just in case.
