Not looking forward to getting back into the work week meat grinder…

Not a single bit. I'm usually excited to begin the upcoming week on Sundays.

No quite the opposite. Always feel chilled out on Sundays.

Usually feel like **** on Saturdays and Mondays

You need to start going to Church OP.

Nope, but that's because I work Sunday. I only get anticipatory related anxiety on Saturday nights - closer to 7 or 8 PM.

I'm buying a new construction house currently. Including dropping 10% (soon to be 20% during closing). The PITI + HOA + bills will likely be closer to $3.5k - $4k/mo. Compared to my current rent + bills equating to like $2.3k/mo.

If I didn't do the above, and continued to be a rentcel, I'd have probably 3-4 years worth of CoL in straight up cash. This acknowledgement helped to dissuade such anxieties… like if I had a bad attitude and performance, who cares I can just rot for a while after getting let go and find a similar job a year later or something. But now money is tight, so I've gotta be more of an overachiever and "cultural fit", till I regain my prior status of "phark you money" in relation to my new CoL.

It's tempting to look at my retirement accounts as a cope for "phark you money," but obviously only an idiot or someone unfortunately desperate would actually act on that.

The exact opposite

My intense smugness thinking about the stressed out plebs dreading the end of their temporary taste of freedom gives me a euphoric peaceful feeling

Nah Sunday is relaxing, good day to rot

yeah, not only that, Sunday is also rest day and that sucks too
