Gen Z Is Quitting Hustle Culture — Are They Right?

Vivian is breaking down the real cost of hustle culture and why working harder doesn’t always mean making more money. From the DoorDash orders and Ubers that come with an overpacked schedule to burnout, income volatility, and missed career opportunities, this episode explores how the grind can quietly start costing you more than it’s making you.

In this episode, Vivian covers:

1. The hidden financial costs of hustle culture, why juggling multiple side gigs can sometimes hurt your long-term earning potential, and how to tell when working more is no longer worth it

2. Why Gen Z is rejecting the traditional grind through trends like quiet quitting and the “soft life,” and what they might actually be getting right about productivity, ambition, and burnout

3. How to build wealth without sacrificing your entire life, from negotiating for more money at your current job to putting your savings, investments, and retirement accounts to work so your money can grow without adding more hours to your schedule
