Excellent points! Hustle culture and the wealth treadmill are problematic and focus on a materialist view that more money/success equals greater happiness, when we know the reality is much more complex than that. Sadly our society does not place as much value on the importance of community, strong family relationships and support, proper health education (including preventative care and education), and teaches us to be workers in the 9-5 mod more than it teaches us to be entrepreneurial or critical thinkers. It’s important to step back and make sure you balance your professional life and goals with taking care of yourself holistically. I think this fact of how the exploitative nature of late-stage capitalism has gone in overdrive is seen by the trends of quiet quitting, US citizens (and parent in particular), choosing to move abroad, and many people opting out of traditional 9-5 professional paths.
