I work to live. If I didn't have to pay my bills, I would retire and just relax. I've got to support my family so it's off to work I go, every day, month after month, year after year - lol.
Live to work and it’s pathetic because I’m severely underpaid but all I do is work.
I work to find a job so I can live to work...it sucks as it's a job in itself so I feel you.

Work to live for the last several years. One day, very soon, I hope I will be able to love the work I do. But for now, it is what it is.
