Is anyone here in golden handcuffs? (absolutely hate what you do for work but it pays well and you have been accustomed to a certain lifestyle that it provides so you are unwilling to change careers)

Somewhat, but I took a drastic level of change the last few years to start saving significantly and alter my lifestyle.

You can lose this income in many ways. If you are not able to live contently without it, you may want to consider an alteration of lifestyle.

I moved from India to Canada 2yrs back. I am happy here, enjoying work, new place and new lifestyle. But, even after 2yrs of being in a new country I have no social life. Couldn't meet anyone new as it's a work from home situation. There are a few meetup groups but being an introvert that I am, it's hard to make friends this way. I prefer a more natural way of meeting people.. like at work or at an institute etc. Anybody has any suggestions?
