Hustle culture is really not worth it
Is it impossible to become rich? No. But it comes with a heavy price. That price entails your time, energy and effort. They say spend your 20s grinding to enjoy your 30s, 40s and beyond but what can someone actually do throughout the decade of their 20s that sets them up for the rest of their life? Realistically it’s not possible. Yes you could work very hard in your 20s and by your 30s you could have a decent income from whatever it is you built and that seems more realistic than the idea of hustling in your 20s to retire by the age of 30.
Another thing I’ve come to realise about getting rich from scratch is that just like every other good thing in life it takes time but with becoming rich it takes almost half or all your life to actually reach a point where you are financially wealthy. But by that time, you’ll likely be old and missed out on most of your life chasing the bag and wonder if it was all worth it. They say the issue with people is we want fast money but is that really so wrong? Is it wrong to want to actually be young and have the time and energy to enjoy the riches from your hard work? To me it’s just a scam to work your life away only to become filthy rich by the end of your life. What do you guys think?
