If you aren't hustling others you're getting hustled.

What is you definition of "hustling"? Driving for Uber?

Okay but I also need to buy stuff in order to live.

The entire point of trade/commerce is mutual benefit. I want food, and they need to make money in order to sell me food. It's a win-win.

I read a finance book which outlined many tactics and methods to pay off debt and develop a healthy savings account. The first thing the author mentions before going into these strategies is, "if you're not making at least 2500$ a month, it's not possible to accomplish any of these things".

Honestly woke me up to the realization that I needed to get a better job. so I did. Anyone else out there who is making less than 2500$/month should accept that they're under someone's thumb, and need to get out.

But im only 14 bro, please😭

I don’t care about how much money someone else has or doesn’t have.

Not so much an unpopular opinion as much as an 11 year old's understanding of capitalism.

If you always shop at the same supermarket which is owned by pension funds and give the same dividend each year, you're not hustled. You're paying your fair share.

Most people are just hanging out n stuff

I work for a public University, I think I'm good.

Life is a hustle lmfao. Nothing in life is fair, we're not fighting for who gets this dead bison anymore. We're living at the top of a food chain and literally are dealing with a health crisis of people eating too much; I think we have life figured out. We've entered cheat codes and developed a society where the only reason we have to fear death is by suicide, debt and loneliness, or by crime committed by others who are in debt and lonely.

It turns out though that we can't just overwrite our nature as lifeforms on this planet. There's a written in code for competition as a clause for having been born, so that's why the market exists and why we still have to produce and work for the things we want and need to survive. There is a structure within our species which we have socially constructed based on a system of economy and wealth, and that is now our version of life struggles.

We literally made this shit up and now we're complaining about it. I just find that really funny.

It's called human nature. Everyone is naturally self-interested, there's nothing wrong with that. It's part of our survival instinct.

Work for yourself, let ur money work for u, dont be the one to chase.thts all i can say

Is that really a bad thing then? If I need to be hustled in order to buy a sandwich for lunch then I don't really care since I need that sandwich to live
