It’s always annoyed me that you see the recommendation to get a “side hustle” to get ahead… when in reality you need that “side hustle” just to afford basic cost of living. At that point it’s not a hustle, it’s literally survival.
Side note: I saw a post / tweet / comment somewhere that pointed out how depressing the phrase “cost of living” is when you think about it. I wish I could remember it verbatim because I often do think about that phrase and get a bit sad.
In short: Nearly 9 per cent of workers aged between 20 to 24 are working multiple jobs – more than any other demographic
…
“A lot of people my age are hustling, but a lot of it’s sort of unavoidable,” she said.
“We need to hustle in order to pay rent, pay food, and just like survive out here.”
Alternarive title: new generations are so utterly fucked that they’re forced to work multiple jobs to earn the right to survive in the dystopian hellscape that’s been created before their birth.
Such a boomer statement calling it a hustle.
You’re just not a go getter! /s
“Willing to do what they need to”. You misspelled “forced”, ABC
Perhaps some survivorship bias in the article.
Gotta contribute something, somewhere. But there should be no full time job that doesn’t pay someone enough to pay rent and eat and have a little pocket money.
Can’t free load, but can’t need 2 jobs just to buy groceries either.
It’s time to end compounding profits
Maybe I’m crazy but for 40h a week I need to be getting ahead somehow, not just subsisting and padding out someone else’s retirement portfolio
Workers of the world unite, you have nothing to lose but the humiliating process of monetizing your hobbies so you can afford to eat.

I am waiting for Gen Z to just start rioting in the streets to claim some kind of fairness back.
They really have no chance.
They are more likely to just rope in solitude… if they’re lucky enough to have enough space for that.
Well with the quintessential aussie “side hustle” of having an investment property now out of reach more than ever its no surprise Gen Z are turning elsewhere.
Hustlers now? Hah
