You can demonstrate that financial necessity leaves room for a range of relationships with work.
Maybe your considered relationship to work is purely instrumental: "I'm doing this for the money." You don't expect or mourn the absence of genuine stimulation.
You are conscientious at work, then go home.

You can be cheerfully matter-of-fact about getting through the boring day without resenting it for not fulfilling you.
It gives you permission to save your energy for parts of life that feel meaningful.
The point is to ask whether work has to be meaningful for you.
