Love my node and running one.  Yes, it is hard but who said bitcoin and lightning - being your own bank will be easy.  Noderunning is a team sport.  Join a community like Plebnet at plebnet.org so you give/get help running a node with like minded plebs.  It is a new technology so there will be pains.  But, someone has to run the nodes for payments!  Install auto node management tool like LNDg to auto-manage day to day node running.
