Is it all worth it?

Currently a 1st year analyst and honestly I’ve begun to change my mind of what I want to do long term, is life really about working?

As wages stagnate & COL rise throughout the United States, I fully intend on moving back to England in the next 10 years and hope I can secure a French/Italian Wife to snag that passport and move somewhere where I can enjoy life rather than work away my life and for what? Maybe I’m just a pussy idk
