I Don’t Want To Hustle, I Want To Live
Living a life that prioritizes what matters
The rat race is exhausting. The constant nudge of climbing the corporate ladder, striving for that next promotion, online gurus pushing hustle culture, and working 60-hour weeks is draining. But does the so-called “hustle” really lead to happiness and fulfillment? Not for everyone.
Some — like me — are realizing there’s more to life than just the non-stop hustle. They want to focus on family, hobbies, learning new skills, giving back to others, and simply enjoying each day. The hustle often robs us of those joys.
As we look at the world around us, the goal of making millions isn’t as lucrative as it once was. People just want a comfortable, modest living. Enough to pay the bills, save a bit, travel, and enjoy life’s small pleasures. There was a study from years back about making more than $75,000 a year doesn’t increase happiness. Due to inflation, that number may have increased.
…and I believe that may have burst the American dream bubble.
Some online and others i’ve spoken to are vocal about wanting to “go off grid” or “buy a farm”. While this may not be their true intentions, one thing is true. They’re tired and need an escape. In that need of escape, some are finding ways to get back to nature.
