How can one lead the life they desire?

Now I'm 22 years old and I'm about to graduate and start looking for a job. Currently, I'm quite lost. I go to and come back from work in a regular routine every day. I get home very late and then I have to play with my phone for a while before going to bed. Thinking about living like this for decades in the future makes me feel very panicked. But without a job, I have no money. My parents won't allow me to do so. How can I balance life and work?
