I told my boss I needed a raise. He said everyone needs a hustle. I told him my hustle is wage work. He advised some people will just sacrifice more. I said my time with my family was more important.

People that say you need a “huscle” need to remember capitalism only works if a large part of the population is happy just doing some menial job that pays just enough to have a somewhat interesting life.

If everybody is rich, nobody is rich.

  The last sentence only makes sense comparatively. If you assume wealth/richness is having enough resources to thrive, then imho everybody can be rich.

    Ofcourse there are other metrics to considering yourself rich, some of which don’t necesarily have anything at all do do with money.
    
    But that is not what those online grifters that constantly talk about crypto and having a huscle mean with being successful.

You forgot to add how you kissed your boss on the mouth to get a raise.
