I find myself hating my job and where I am in life.

Went to college for architecture and have worked in my professional life as a building inspector, insurance underwriter, and actuary, and I lived in a 2-fam and had two more 2-fams in my hometown of Buffalo, NY, and sold those when I got a job offer and moved to New Orleans, LA. 

I had close family members look me in the face and ask when I was going to get a real job even though I was making 3 or 4 times their yearly income.

Although in our area, traffic can be so bad up and down I-95 that people regularly commute an hour and a half each day to their job.
