In my experience most people aren’t bored either. I am not sure why you think most people live dull lives. First of all my job is very fast pace and something always happens. We make jokes in the morning about hoping for a boring day. Never happened so far.
Then I have hobbies, I create something, it can’t possibly be boring. Then I have my husband and I have a group of friends with whom I do fun stuff. When I want quiet time I read books or I watch something. We also do a bit of travel, yes that costs money. But you can save for it and you can travel cheaply (if you like traveling).
I don’t believe you need a lot of money to not be bored. Lots of stuff is free or inexpensive. In the summer there are fairs and outdoors concerts and walks in parks and festivals that are completely free.
I do wonder if you are depressed? I think boredom is a mind set. Your mind set is that you are unhappy and bored. I’d say it comes from within. I wonder if seeing a therapist might help you to get to the bottom of it.

I don't know how many are bored. I think pretty much everyone is unhappy to some degree, certainly not happy - but that's another thread ...
But I'm certainly bored all the time. And people lead very dull lives, it seems to me - hence why they escape into TV and alcohol all the time.
Speaking only for myself, I find most everything boring these days. Mostly because I've done it all and there no real novelty left. I'd like a huge amount of cash so as to be able to do new exciting and interesting things.
I have no desire, or money or time, to see any kind of therapist. That strikes me as a waste of money, since all I really need is fun stuff to do - I'm not convinced the problem is I my head, more my life circumstance. Like I said, give me loads of cash and I'd find plenty of interesting things to do.
