I agree, but each of us has different standards of "enjoyment".
When I was a teenager, I had a chance to meet a guy who was working at a gas station, filling tanks some 8 hours a day, often in cold/chilling nightshifts.
He was the happiest person in the world. He came from Vietnam (or some other not-so-lucky country, can't remember exactly), where he had spend his early adult life working in muddy fields 12 hours a day, for the yearly equivalent of what he made in ONE day in Europe.
He considered himself very lucky, and rightly so - he could now afford to buy all the food he could possibly want to eat, had a warm dry place and some spare time too.
Sorry for the slightly pathetic tone, but I often think of this guy whenever I listen to myself or others saying that life is hard.
Life is not hard for any of us - not even if you have 800$ in Prague.
