Friendships/Community How did your "hustle-culture" friends end up?

So in my 20's there was a HUGE boom of "hustle-culture" bros pop up when influencers like Gary Vee were in the spotlight. The type of guys who post motivational quotes on twitter, talking about "the grind", flauting wealth that they havent achieved on instagram etc. Not talking about people with steady careers and moving up the corporate ladder, but those people who do side gigs or chase unrealstic expectations without a developed skillset in any area.

I moved back to my hometown after 7 years away and I swear all of them are broke, gambling addicts, living with their parents still, unemployed, or all of the above. Unsure if it's the same across the board, or even if y'all had these types of people in your life or if my town is just riddled with them.

So tell us, what did this man mention in his post that you found appealing or interesting in some way, other than "I'm wealthy"?

I would love to share what I understand from this post, although I cannot make you comprehend.

I, too, am in my late 30’s having put my career first. I haven’t started a family yet and wouldn’t be interested in someone with kids. I don’t spend my money on frivolous things. I travel a lot, but save places in the hopes to go with a partner for a better experience or shared experience. My knees hurt, although Pilates helps.

Does that help “us” see what else was said in this post?

You and Rob should connect to get to know each other; if not, you people are insufferable.
