I wonder what is the path of least resistance to making money for me and does the path of least resistance bring joy or is it something I could do I'm order to have time and resources to focus on important things to me. 

I think if your job is your life you miss much else. But as a wise poet once said " it's either pussy or the commas" basically saying he couldn't sustain a healthy relationship and maximize his income. And I agree a relationship is an expensive pastime especially if you earn significantly more or your lover was impacted work wise by covid. But without my relationship I would have much less purpose. Over time I'd exercise and get back out there to find the next one but everything would be meaningless again. 
I do get satisfaction alone but I don't think I could be fully happy alone. 

I'd love to love my job, I like it but to love it I'd like higher pay, more flexibility to work full-time anywhere on the planet and fewer hours. That would be the path of least resistance. I think vacation days need to be European as opposed to North American also. Canada has fuck all vacation in comparison to Ireland.
