Saying "I do X so that I am able to do Y"


I'm trying to say "I do X so that I can do Y".

For example: "I work so that I can enjoy life".

The closest I've been able to get is something like:

働【はたら】くから、人生【じんせい】を楽【たの】しめます。 ( _because_ I work, I can enjoy life)

Is there a way of saying this with a closer implication to the original
English?




働くから人生を楽しめます ("I can enjoy life because I work"; 働 **う** should be a typo for
働 **く** ) makes sense, but there is some difference in meaning.

To describe your purpose ("in order to", "so that", ...), you can use ～ように or
～ために. For the difference, see: [On the interchangeability of ~ように and
~ために](https://japanese.stackexchange.com/q/36593/5010)

>   * 人生を楽しむために働きます。
>   * 人生を楽しめるように働きます。
