I think it is good to question the meaning of things. You may be interested in the ideal of antinatalism which is about not bringing children into the world to just have to work and live a meaningless life:

It is true that many people are chasing money for no end or caught in religions that aren't actually helping them. To me, I think that helping people see beyond these things and find the truth is a type of meaning.
Also, Jordan Peterson had a good point of view that the ability to think things are meaningless means that there is some meaning. Because if everything is truly meaningless, we could just sleep everyday and everything would be the same. Yet, when we think things are meaningless its because we do have that capability to feel sad about things, and there usually are things we can do that feel better. There are definitely things that could make our quality of life much better or worse, meaning that there is some meaning to different things.
There's also the viewpoint that there doesn't necessarily need to be a meaning. Things can just be the way they are because they are and we may not need to operate with some grand plan in mind.
I also wrote this article on accepting the reality of life and being able to find freedom through facing the truth:

I've found that when I did believe there was some grand plan or gods or the afterlife, that I was often scared and lost. Now that I accept the fact that this is our one life and I use evidence based reasoning, I feel more at peace, since I don't need to believe in delusions just to function. Looking around its clear that many in society who believe in some grand plan are still terrified and afraid, so believing in some higher meaning doesn't always necessarily lead to a good life.
