Younger workers are reassessing their workplace commitment. The core issue: when long-term financial goals feel out of reach, the motivation to hustle fades. It's not laziness—it's a rational calculation. If the math doesn't add up toward meaningful wealth-building or financial security, why drain yourself for a paycheck that doesn't move the needle? This shift reveals how investment horizon and achievable milestones directly shape work ethic and ambition.

Honestly, this is the true portrayal of young people today. House prices are so high, wages won't increase, even working to death won't let you afford a house, so why work overtime like crazy? It's not that we don't want to try, we just really see no hope.

Basically, young people have done the math and realized that arbitrage can't really get them anywhere. Why bother working so hard?

NGL, this is reality. If you can't figure out the roadmap to financial freedom, who would still work 996 desperately? This logic is so clear.

Basically, it's just that workers have done the math and realized that no matter how hard they try, they can't get ahead, so what's the point of putting in all that effort?

Basically, the working people have finally realized that working harder is pointless. Buying a house, a car, getting married—if you can't figure it out, just give up.
