A job should be a stepping stone, not a dead end. If you are not growing your skills or growing your bank account, you are just burning years. Comfort can look like stability, but it is often just fear with a paycheck. The best roles either teach you fast, pay you well, or both. If yours does neither, you are being used for cheap labor and quiet obedience. Respect yourself enough to outgrow it. Learn what you can. Save what you can. Then move on without guilt. Your future does not reward loyalty to stagnation.
