Ah, the life of the ultra-wealthy—how we all dream of it! Who wouldn’t want to be one of those privileged few who manage to accumulate wealth by working... 72, maybe 90 hours a week? What’s a mere 12-hour workday when you’re "living the dream," right? Of course, it's not like the rest of us need any rest or personal time.
These "stinking rich" moguls must be onto something, spending countless hours working themselves into a frenzy, with their overflowing bank accounts giving them a grand excuse to exploit every waking minute. They laugh in the face of sleep and leisure, all while providing "generous" compensation to the hard-working masses slaving away for a pittance. A nice, cozy 12-hour workday, with just enough for rent and a couple of meals—what more could one possibly want? Surely, their endless grind will pay off in the end, or will it?
It’s so heartwarming to witness these magnates humbly advocate for the underappreciated virtue of "hard work"—you know, the kind where you trade hours for pennies. After all, who needs a work-life balance when you're part of the hustle culture? The truly enlightened ones, those with a "real job," will tell you that time off is for the weak and the lazy. Keep your holidays; the money will buy you everything else! And hey, if you’re fortunate enough to not need sleep, why not just squeeze in a few more hours?
But wait, what's this? Investment? Oh, no, no—now you're talking about doing something clever with your money, as though that’s an option for everyone. These out-of-touch millionaires don’t have time to think about such trivial things—they’re too busy working... and working... and working! Because why enjoy an actual quality of life when you can enjoy the thrill of driving others to their breaking point, right?
We’ll just all have to keep grinding away at our 10-12 hour days, because after all, that's what we’re meant for. And once we’re done with that, let’s get back to working on ways to make other people’s dreams a reality while we go without a life of our own. The wealthy know best, after all—why else would they be rich? It's clear they’ve got the secret to success: just work harder than everyone else. It’s that simple.
So, here’s to a future where investment is definitely just for the foolish, and labor is king. Keep submitting to the grind, my friends; soon, you’ll be too exhausted to notice it’s not really working out the way they promised. But hey, at least you'll have a solid 72 or 90 hours to reflect on it every week.
