You have to seperate your work life from your personal life. Make a budget and have your bills paid automatically, while keeping debts down as low as possible (home, apartment). Then focus on having fun with your life outside of work.
The other important thing is to sit down and have a plan for 6 months if you lost your job or quit your job. Would you have enough saved to survive? What would you do around town that doesn't cost much? Would you work on starting your own company or trying to come up with some new product?
And if you are not happy at your current job, start looking and figuring out what job you want to have. How much money you really need to live the lifestyle you want, instead of what others might expect you to do.
