1. Your health is everything. Money means Nothing if your health is bad. 2. Stress destroys your immune system. 3. Want what you have and you'll have what you want. Materialism is not good. 4. The most important things in Life are not Things.

A man who works all day has no time to make money. -Henry Ford

I once heard it put this way: If your name is on your shirt, you're working class. If your name is on your desk, You're middle class. If your name is on the building, You're upper class.

"even the preschoolers at the temu factory work longer than that" 😭 you're killing me Nicole.

"You're not rewarded for hustling. You're rewarded for playing the game." Summed up very well.

At the end of the day nobody will remember you and how hard you worked.

Terms like "side-hustle" and "gig economy" also serve to make the whole sorry deal sound more hip and cool.

The comfort of the rich depends upon an abundant supply of the poor. (Voltaire)

Have an ex-friend who worshiped money. She and her husband makes big, big bucks. But she ignored the real welfare of her child, thinking that the elite private school and golf lessons would be the babysitters and teachers. Now the child is grown and is so helpless that she needs both parents to support her.

Both US and China are both dystopian nightmares to me with their overworking culture. Technological revolutions supposed to make our lives better, so we can work less and have more leisure time. But instead only bunch of ultra rich people take all the benefits, while rest of us works more and more for same salary and promises of better life in the future.

To be honest, one should be able to afford a reasonably comfortable life with just one job, whatever it may be. This is what people used to be able to do in the past. Nobody wants to have to "hustle".

In high school I knew a kid with rich parents, he was adopted. He had a new car, the best of everything growing up. But it was clear he was unhappy. At a reunion I met up with him again, he sells real estate, drives an old car, didn’t follow in the family business. But he appears much happier now doing his own thing.

The problem is incredibly simple: criminals write the rules. If you understand this, you understand why the current conditions exist.

I have worked for the last 39 years (never been unemployed) and have always made less than 40K per year. The last 3 years i have worked in the food service industry and in the past have worked 17 years in retail, 12 years in hotel hospitality and 7 years in senior care. The hustle culture of working 50-60 hours per week is no longer appealing to me. I'm done chasing money. Life is too short, so i came up with the plan of working until i'm at least 65 years of age by working 2 days a week x 10hrs/day (Thursday & Friday). I'm on year two of this plan and loving it. I no longer let work consume my life. I'm done being a full time corporate/wage slave. I'm enjoying my extra free time while i still have my health and while also keeping a low taxable footprint. Money is not everything!

I’m a nurse and got fed up with the mistreatment. I also got frustrated with working a ton for the government to take 40 percent of my hard earned money (New York) I “hustled” to pay off my student loans and now I’m debt free and don’t have a-lot of bills. I now work the minimum to pay my bills and spend my free time how I want to. A rich man is one with no bills.

Yes, Nicole you are totally right! I worked for the large corporation for 27 years as a general labour. I worked 12 hour shifts but my wife and I lived within our means. We paid our house mortgage bi- weekly and paid it off early. Started saving for retirement at a young age and now at the age of 56 we can live comfortably, happily together without fear having to work. We never went on extravagant vacations or lifestyle. We live within our means and always lived on a monthly budget. 😊

I was a workaholic. Workrd all overtime i could ( top 20 in Canada wide in OT one year). I lost my family and burned out). I have nothing. Im on a medical pension.

I am getting to the end of my working career. I strive to be like my cat. Sleep, watch others run around, eat and then curl up next to my wife for some love. You’re right, hustle culture makes someone else wealthy. Stop buying shit you don’t need either. Don’t be a slave to debt.

The ruling class are your owners. They want only three things: (1) that you consume what their companies produce, mostly things you don't need, (2) that you work for these companies for minimal compensation, usually doing some menial thing, and (3) that you go into hopeless debt, mainly to consume what these companies produce. They condition you to consume with the most inane advertising. To digress, advertising should be restricted to an "advertising channel" which you go to deliberately to watch advertising if you wish to do so. Otherwise you see no advertising.
