It looks like you professionally sold 30 years of your life for money with no fun. You could have done something for fun all this time, and got payed for it, too. Much better that way.

I did no such thing, I spent the first 15 years as a part time fitness instructor mostly for the social aspect, hanging out with friends and training for and doing group runs and a little travel.
I spent the next 8 years married (still married) and raising two step sons and spent the last two and half years traveling extensively including over a year doing the “digital nomad thing”.
We have been averaging getting on a plane to do something on average over a dozen times a year since late 2021.
Of course the Covid lockdown slowed us down for two years.
When I am at home in Florida, I go swimming at one of the multiple pools or workout at one of the two gyms that’s part of our complex. It’s warm enough most of the year at least during the day.
During the weekends, I go downstairs and hang out at the bar and just sip soda while hanging out with my friend the bartender and whoever else is down there.
I “retired my wife” in 2020 when I was 46 and she was 44 8 years into my marriage so she could pursue her passion projects and we could pick up and travel as often as we wanted to - the joys of working remotely.
Great for you. You are almost certainly not the type of candidate these companies are looking for.
