Welcome to another episode of "Old Money Meets New Ideas," where today we're diving headfirst into the anti-hustle culture, thanks to none other than Sophia Money-Coutts. Is the traditional grind really superior, or is Gen-Z just smarter about work? Spoiler alert: spending your day in a bank that sounds like it's straight out of a Charles Dickens novel doesn’t necessarily mean you’re winning at life. Join us as we unravel an article so out of touch, it might as well be written on parchment. Who knew discussing work-life balance could be as entertaining as watching silver spoons try to understand TikTok? Buckle up; this isn’t your average career advice.

The ad was excellent, by the way.
I have a commercial bee farm and my dad said its a lazy business. I got him to help me on splits and I did it for 9.5 hours and 2 hours in he was dying tired lol.
I got lay off on 31 December by the federal government!!!! I will never want to work to hard anymore for my future jobs!!! We're just numbers!!!! They don't care about its citizens!!!! I subscribed to your channel because I can relate with you!!!! Im tired of people like Simon Sinek and those fake Gurus!!!!
this gives me "if you're homeless buy a house" energy
Bri'ish royalty in a nutcase, man.
Let them eat cake!
It's also a vibe of "if you don't have a job you're not trying hard enough"
“My servants put on my pants one leg at a time just like everyone else!”
"Have you just tried not being poor?"
Ahh so a nepo kid is telling us how hard she worked by using her family money to get ahead. I can tell by her smugness in the thumbnail. Like “yep I know I’m rich from being born. But why are YOU so lazy?”
the contradiction is no longer sugar-coated
Nepo is an understatement. This lady is several generations rich. Not a sing drop of normal in their bloodline. They even have a point in their family history of basically cheating their own family member to get richer. She even has one of those titles that had some sort of meaning before but now just gets handed down through the family.
It's practically a genre of articles at this point. Any time you see an article in Business Insider about a 20-something paying off a house or expatting to Portugal to start a business, there's always paragraphs of fluff about making your own lattes or bringing lunch to work, then buried in there is that they're a trust fund baby.
The rich can't live the lifestyles they do without the rest of the population being diligent wage slaves. The rich controls the media. Ergo, you get more and more propaganda pieces like the one shown in the video.
She's projecting her family's disappointment, in her, onto everyone else.
Imagine building a banking dynasty, just for your kids to grow up magicians and tabloid writers.
The absolute audacity that bosses demand you have no side hustle, even if it won’t get in the way of your work hours. 😡😡😡
bruh like who takes them seriously
They won't let you gain financial independence, they'd lose all their leverage.
@@jayesh1891applied to a e-commerce marketing t job once and when I mention that I buy and sell products outside of work, they went from very interested in me to 0, saying that I would be their competition. 🙄🙄
And while refusing to pay you a living wage
They want you on call 24/7 to enslave you, so THEY can be rich. This is why you NEVER tell your coworkers what your side hustle is, or that you have one.
“How dare you do extra work to make money? Why can’t you just be rich like me by coming from a family of “Money”? It’s even in my name!”
A classic textbook narcissist.
I’m adding a posh “, darling” to the end of your statement. 😂
As a member of the slacker generation, I approve of the anti-hustle generation.
As a memeber of the X generation (borderline, but still) I approve of this too.
As a zillennial (?) I agree lol
@@still_your_zelda is it zillenial or millez? :D
As an older Millennial, I approve and encourage the anti-hustle concept overall.
It's as if having a life outside of work is a good thing.
A “British journalist working for the Telegraph” is practically the most unlikeable combination of traits a modern human can have, but glad to see she has the personality to back it up.
Add something about the house of lords?
In her defence, a writer for the Telegraph is probably less insufferable than a writer for the Guardian.
Both are crap@@EyePatchGuy88
Journalist? At the Telegraph 😂

I see people are still clinging to the outdated notion that working hard, staying late, and taking on extra tasks will get you ahead in a company. It won't, it will just motivate the company to exploit you. Anyone who has worked in a corporate environment for more that 15 minutes can tell you this.
Spot on. This is the era of if you give it away free it will just be expected.
100%. No free work for any company. If you're gonna work extra hours, you should be getting extra to do it
Actually every job I've ever been on the people who went the extra mile were the ones who advanced. Even some celebrities got where they are by outworking others in their field.
@@SonicBoomC98examples?
I’ve worked at 2 full-time jobs in a manufacturing and semiconductor company that have proven to me that hard work is simply exploited, not rewarded.
@@mecanuktutorials6476 you're not specifying how though. I worked two jobs for a decade until I found one that paid more than working two jobs together. The money was definitely needed. I wouldn't say I overworked myself at any job I was doing. A couple of those jobs I probably stayed at for two long, but I will say one thing. I never had a primary job where going the extra mile didn't help, and it probably helped me get to the job I had now. It has never steered or anyone I advised wrong. It led to a higher raise when it was time for a review and the option to move to different or higher positions which led to me being able to upgrade my resume and sell myself better in interviews.
When I retired (43), I was sent a threatening letter from my last employer basically demanding I don't steal their customers or do work that would compete with their business. Pretty hard to enforce, really. Not only are companies pushing the "No side hustles while you are employed with us," but they are attempting to derail any sort of ongoing career. Now we get these snooty people who have no idea what it means to work from the bottom telling us we do not know what it means to hustle.
What's next? Are employers gonna tell employees not to have hobbies either?
Almost makes me wish you opened a rival business to steal their customers 😛 But you did say you retired
In 2024 those people would be Millenials or Gen X.
Boomers are 62 to 78 and retired.
@@sammencia7945gen x doesn't wanna be held accountable for taking up the higher up positions, instead they want everyone they employ to kiss their asses. Millennials are too busy thinking unions solve everything as well as zoomers too. Lot of blame shifting.
This would be even funnier if you told them directly that you are, specifically, retiring 😂😂 like they didn’t get the memo or something. Idiots
She's right. All you need to do is pull yourself up by your bootstraps and buy a 4 bedroom suburban house at 21 for $19k after coming back from Vietnam 👍
and magically, the PTSD and physical injuries will disappear! what a bargain!
Yeah, and a candy bar was 25 cents back then too. What's your point?
Duh!
@@chrisdanielson1219Nobody has this much money at 21 unless their family provides it, she wasn't working at McDonald's to save that money
You could start over with only $43 and walk to work in 2017, earn $10.50 an hour and 7 years later be management and sent on trips to give seminars.
Or keep whining.
It's your choice.
@@chrisdanielson1219😂 Wow. Does your mom dress you?
She's trying to rationalize her -career propped up by daddy's money that no one outside the family cares about- "success" by thinking "it must be because I work very hard".
Companies just get worse and worse, why work hard for them. I hustled for 20 years, it used to pay off, but in the last 5 years it just burned me out. I left my career and have never been happier.

What do you do now?
Dude teach me. I love what I do (software development) but I despise doing it as a career because business people just make me miserable. I wish I could quit and build open source software for others to use. But then I'd become homeless.
What do you do now
Where did the US's obsession with "hustling" come from? Back in the 50's and 60's this concept was completely unheard of. You had one job that covered everything and you still had money left over to save/invest.
A hustler in the 60's meaning meant a con man
It's a trend normalized by exploitative con-men in an attempt to acquire labor for cheap, contributed by the constant devaluation of our dollar.
@@muthaflaco75 It still has that connotation.
Back in the 50s and 60s, when a modest single income could pay for a family of 4 easily.
It comes from the desire of quick easy money, which jas obviously always been a desire, but now that jobs are getting worse and worse, people are happier and happier to do whatever it takes to get out of the rat race, no matter how much time and energy it takes out of them

I won't deny some people are genius and worked hard and have skills to become super rich. But when you look at their backgrounds many of them had rich parents or parents that were already professionnals or business men. Privilege do exist and I hate it when wealthy btag about starting from nothing. Its almost never true. No one start from nothing. And having educated parents is privileged.
Why wont my subjects work for me for food and shelter anymore like their grandparents did? How am I suppose to afford my third yacht and eigth Bentley
I know people with this attitude. It drives them NUTS that their employees (whom they pay minimum wage) aren't reliable and quit without notice. I don't know if this business can actually afford to pay more or not, but they don't get it. Whether they can afford to pay more or not, you get what you pay for.
You cant afford food and shelter with the average job
@@MrC77 You can't afford anything else. Can't afford to save. Can't afford to invest. Can't afford to start a family. Can't afford to purchase a home. What a great system we have created.
Their grandparents were paid well to do a seemingly simple job well. You see it in UPS drivers: they have 340 things they need to memorize and do which massively increase their efficiency, thus make them worth the $100K+ they receive as compensation.
Most companies think that just because anyone can do the job, anyone can do the job WELL. UPS and Aldis, the two best companies in their sector to both work for and buy from, know differently.
Yeah it's all just pure manipulation
Gen-Z isn't getting lazy. Companies are just unable to afford labor.
Companies are just getting cheaper*
They are able to afford it they just don’t.
Its more complicated. Some aspects of that. But also companies over spent during covid.
Companies are cheapskates who won’t pay a living wage.
actually they're pretty able, just unwilling
From millenial to gen-z folks - just wait it out, another 10-20 years and next generation after you will take the torch of "laziest generation there is".
No need, Gen Alpha is getting roasted by just existing on the internet.
They called GenX "the slackers" before they were called GenX. All younger generations are somehow seen as lazy, worthless, and hopeless by the old. And the younger generations see GenX as pretty much Boomers. It's all propaganda so that the people running things can keep us divided along as many lines as possible.
Wait til you see the standard of living for this anti hustle culture you all love so much...
@@NateWilliams-h8q not sure what you mean
@@NateWilliams-h8q not sure what you mean
Going above and beyond never pays off. I worked at a major e-commerce company from Canada for years. They were in a tight situation with a project not being able to be done. My colleague and I stepped up and knocked it out over a weekend pulling 16-18 hour days. My reward? I was laid off three weeks later because the company heard a portion of their employees were starting a union, so they laid off everyone in that region.
Bro whyyyyy. You proved when tough times happened you’d be that team player step up and help out!? Shit that’s incredible why am I annoyed at that behavior.
It’s like joining a shitty guild in a game wtf.
ANTI-Hustle isnt just a gen z thing. Its also the GenX'r who had hustled for over 20 years, going over and above and beyond, but had been over looked and ignored by the higher ups, and realized its best to invest their time and talent into themselves.
Just wait til you see what anti hustle culture is going to do to your standard of living.
And people wonder how come AI is taking over.
These people are teally disconnected. Most people I know have second jobs, to hopefully put down on a house. This generation is already overworked, and you need time to recoup. Exhaustion 24/7 is not grinding it. You will burn yourself out, and somehow, they expect this of you, yet they themselves never had to.
Overworked, underpaid, and not rioting nearly enough.

The Telegraph is basically the Daily Mail with a posher accent. She is trolling for engagement.
I do agree, you cannot be that daft and say those things(but who knows... rich British people)
She's not trolling. The Mail and Telegraph hate the same people and she's just writing that hate down for their readership to rub themselves over. Trolling is intended to annoy - this just brings them joy.
Now that we've identified who gets to be a "journalist" now, I think we can all figure out why journalism is completely dead and the elites are going after tiktok...
Going after Tiktok is a foot in the door move by the government. If that happens, say goodbye to any sort of free internet here.
Because tiktok was totally a breakthrough in modern journalism. /s
@@ARealFoxxoBean yep. They can't control the narrative.
I am getting strong "let them eat cake" vibes here.
"Those lazy Gen Z not wanting to slave away and make sure my family members grow up in Land Rovers!"
honestly being a master of foxhounds sounds like a way cooler job than being an editor at the telegraph.
I think a problem with today's work "scheme" is that employees are stake-holders in a companies success, but generally are treated as dispensable leaches. Honestly, that doesn't benefit the company or the stockholders. It would be awesome if you could do the occasional videos on work-places that break this model.
They promote her type of content to keep the lies alive
Exactly! 💯%
Don't you just love rich and entitled people lecturing you on morals and exericising your rights?
In my job review my bosses were trying to say me not working late was a problem. They were praising a guy who was less productive and worked slow because he stayed late.
Needless to say they are pretty stupid people, I found a better job with better pay and I leave I a week. Dont stay loyal people.
fact
Some 60-70 year olds says young people dont want to hustle amy more. Totally ignoring the fact mpst people 40 years ago could pay for everything for a family of 4 plus pets on one 9-5 income, retire at 65 with pension and social security.
Now you have duo income and still have nothing after tax expense and daycare. Pension is replaced by 401k, social security garnish 12.4% of your wage and pay you back pennies after 40 years of inflation. Why bother......
Retire at 55*

The problem is not how much you "hustle", but who you hustle for. If you enjoy tech and put in 80 hours per week, at least 40 of that should be on your personal projects that you keep the intellectual property to.

It must be nice to find a job that allows you to do what you enjoy. But I personally wasn’t having a good time being unemployed for two years and ending up homeless, so I took a job doing something I hate because at least I can survive.

"Managers have problems with object permanence." Brilliant. Best takedown of idiotic management insistence on RTO, face time, and all the other attacks on employee well-beling. Well played.
I'm Gen Z, work as a software developer. I regularly put in probably too many hours. I recently have been feeling lazy though. Not because I actually don't want to work but just because the stress of earning enough to support my fiancé and our future children is seriously getting to me. Like how in the hell am I supposed to buy a house, afford children, provide a decent living for a family of four? I make pretty good money but almost all of it has gone to anyone besides me. I don't need much, just a hard drive or video game every now and then. Even that it too much or else I risk messing up plans I have 6 months from now. Shit is just too damn expensive. The "laziness" is just a feeling of hopelessness.
lol make due, buy a house in the country side I guess xD
I got spat on by my maternal half brother and uncle all my life
turns out they make in a month what I would take a half a year to earn
Millenial here: I bent over backwards for one of the companies I worked for to the point of a nervous breakdown, leaving me in the ER. The company subsequently screwed up their finances, laid me off, and eventually folded. Listen...no corporate job is worth putting in more than the bare minimum. They don't care about you, they are insecure, and are not where your value comes from. Focus on your relationships, hobbies, and passions to find self-worth. A job is just for money to fund these passions.
As much as they complain about Gen-Z, I've never seen anyone more entitled than middle-aged and older bosses. These are the people who honestly, in their very bones, believe that everyone else should feel grateful for the opportunity to give their time and energy, around the clock, to promote the success of a for-profit business that shares none of those profits with the workers. In fact, you should want it so much, you just freely volunteer an extra 20-40 hours on top of what you're (poorly) paid for! And if you suggest any different, you are a Bad Person. That is like supervillain levels of entitlement.
If you want people to stick around past 5pm for some common industry related activity, try hiring some people to start at like 10 or 11am and have them go home later. Plenty of people would like to sleep later every day. My natural circadian rhythm used to be 10am to 2am ish so 12pm starts at a previous job were fantastic.
And pay people better wages, treat them as human beings…

When I first found out that "private" banking is actually just shorthand for, "banking for the rich", rather than a *standard term* one might otherwise use for *most banks in the private sector*- which, apparently, are actually just called "retail banks", weirdly enough- I was like... "Huh...🙃"
It doesn’t matter how much you hustle if the goal posts keeps moving
That’s it: Lord Crispin the 9th is my new rap name. You uncouth roustabouts betta recognize.
When did ‘hustling’ become a thing? Hustling is what people did in the streets to survive. They became hustlers. So the entire term is a cool cultural way of saying: millions of people are trying to survive because the very system that promised them prosperity for honest work is failing them. That’s what it is. And if you’re a daughter of a rich and connected person you aren’t hustling.
play the game of life with a safety net under you is easy mode. Nothing wrong with playing easy mode, just dont act as if you are playing the same game as people playing on hard mode.
It must be nice to play life on super easy mode. Could somebody tell me where are the life settings? I'm tired to play in "Nightmare" difficulty. I want to play in that lady's settings. I think her settings are called "Daddy, please!!!!". It's a level easier than "I'm too young to die".
If working ain't providing enough to live off of, let alone get to our goals and dreams, really what is the point? In Britain, even teachers and solicitors are struggling with the mortgage, so why bother? May as well as be a little poorer but with our health and sanity in check and have the time for our loved ones and leisure. No boss will ever see how we are when the inevitable burnout happens!
Late millennials and Gen Z both started to ask an extremely important question: "Why do I have to wait til I'm 60 to enjoy life?"
All the while, bombarded with media from trust fund babies and the affluent caste of oligarch children living life instead of living to work and began to ask, "Why can't I have that too?"
Then the pandemic hit and people realized _how much time_ work actually absorbed and what it was like to actually indulge in self-driven pursuits and that is one HELL of a genie that is IMPOSSIBLE to put back in the bottle.
I’m Gen X asking the same question-why do I have to wait until I’m old and frail to ‘enjoy’ life. During the pandemic working at home, I was saving 3 hours a day not having to commute. I thought they couldn’t put the genie back in the bottle, but the company I work for is doing exactly that with strict RTO and all that crap. Been stuck in this nightmare for decades now. Am burnt out and exhausted. And hoping that Gen Z actually ends up changing it for the better somehow so they don’t have to waste their lives in cubicle hell the way I did.

The juice of retirement just doesn't feel like it's worth the squeeze anymore. Especially since social security is going to be absolutely skeletal by the time Millennials and Gen Z (God help Alpha right now...) hit retirement age.
Personally, I can't work remotely because I work at a hospital lab.

This lady reminds me of a very wealthy Indian woman I met years ago. She was covered in jewels and we were going to drop off her son at USC. We were mentioning to her that USC was in a poor neighborhood and maybe she should dress more appropriately. She was very understanding. She looked at her hands, turned the rings with the largest gems upside down and said, "okay, let us go to USC."
I literally decided to start doing the bare minimum at work. I will do my tickets and stare at my desk for the rest of the day. No more projects, no more organizing things in the back end. Because there is no recognition, but if something happens to break, even if it's a temporary break that needed to happen I get the shit. So I'll leave things as an unorganized time bomb. No skin off my back.
The hardest worker is always the first to be laid off, the boss usually see them as a threat to their power. At least thats my experience from working construction.
If my job pays me 50% below market rate, asks me to do a BS pointless two hour zoom call, then adds extra responsibilities that for example incur fees on myself, well they have to realize I am subtracting all that from the effort I’ll put in. The companies are doing it to themselves by trying to constantly get one over on us

I must be a gen z all along since that’s been my mindset my whole life. 🤷♀️
There’s something to be said for accumulating enough money to not rely on the children you didn’t have if you become infirm.
Beyond that, what’s the point? I am at an old folks home nearly every day. Three men. Anomalies because all the other hustlers didn’t make it.
If the kids see the futility of the hustle and choose a different path, then good for them.
I'm Gen X . Hustled in all those companies. The same ones who were quick to fire me after growing their business. So it's not worth it. For my team, I just tell them, i don't care whether you are late or leave early as long as you get the job done & achieve the goal. My new mantra now is Work Smart, Play Hard .

This woman seems to genuinely not understand that the promotions they dangle in front of us NEVER COME. Most of us did work over time for quite a while, only to get jerked around more. the moment it's time to collect on all that extra effort, we get more lectures about how hard their lives are. We're sick of it. Were businesses to actually uphold their end, they would find plenty of people willing to bust their a$$es.
This is what I've seen. 1. Get promised future promotion. 2. Work really hard for many months/ years. 3. When it's time to get the promotion get told " we really need to keep you in current position you do so well we don't want to replace you ". This has happened to me multiple times over the years I just can't anymore
Agreed - for ten years I was on permanent “on-call” status as a security guard: I was taking all the weird shifts (mostly overnights and weekends) nobody else wanted, putting in 50-60 hours a week and often working 7-10 days *in a row* for my company! But when the time came to get the promotion to management, those jobs always went to someone else: usually somebody that just got hired on a few weeks back and was related to someone at the corporate office - apparently all my hard work and experience as a security professional in the field is no match for being the nephew of the regional manager!
So to hell with that - I now work at a union warehouse and don’t put in much more than 40 hours a week anymore: I can’t take it now that I am pushing 40 and there’s not much point to it anyway - I am only at my job to collect a check and that’s it.

🎵Screw the Hustle🎵
This woman is a living parody. Seriously, from the cartoonishly out of touch stuff she spouts, to the family line packed with titles, to her name having "money" in it, she's one dalmation fur coat away from being the heel in an animated feature.
🤣Love how you implemented the actual content of the video into your sponsor ad.
Great video as always and btw glasses really suit you!
Lookin like you stole my lunch money
Yep, learnt about this chick from The Kavernacle. Mainstream journalism (and politics as well) is dominated by rich kids. Rich kids hiring their buddies from the same schools or families. It's mad. The left bang on about this endlessly in our country as a clear sign of classism. Born rich? You'll pretty much stay rich, be more well connected and more likely to be in the higher echelons of general societal power...and I can agree with them depending on the person like our Sophia here.
One more thing, thank you for going through the pain of reading her article. Her trying to hide her privilege yet failing is hilarious.
Keep preaching, brother! The Sex and the City reference was glamorous!!
Hustling is happening less simply because it's become the default expectation. There's no sprinting, there's no special reward for it, because if everyone's hustling, hardly anyone who hustles can get promoted. Plus, they can jjust promote no one and hire or transfer instead.
Most gen Z will never own a house, regardless of how hard they work. Why the hell would they destroy themselves for greedy corporations, that are only interested in harvesting all the value from their employees.
I love you Joshua. Take good care of yourself.
Side Hustles, really 2nd jobs shouldn't be necessary. A normal 40 hour per week job should be sufficient, 2nd jobs being "necessary" is the problem.
It's almost like when you double the labor force, wages go down! Whodathunkit?
Exactly. The problem is when you make a good income off 1 job then it gets dangled in front of you and you’re told you’re not worth it. Luckily in my profession I have always been able to find a new position when the time came to get another job.
I am an old guy who works at a tech company with a lot of the "Gen Z" folk, and they are some of the most hard working, decent people I know. Unlike this posh (redacted), I actually want them to succeed.
Dude im 41, i started my work off as a labourer, id carry tools for artisans, i jammed my foot in every single door that i saw as time passed, drawing office, quality control, logistics, buying, planning etc,
Now i have my own thing but i still put my time in everywhere and perform a function in all departments.
It wasn’t worth it while i was younger but now that its mine every single drop of sweat was worth it
lol came in early once at 4 am… I work shift work, and when I work dayshift, I ALWAYS have to be in by 4 am.
Older Millennial here. To all the Gen Z, you’re not lazy, you’re right. The squeeze is no longer worth the juice. I personally blame the dissolution of traditional western culture. Get married, if one partner works, they hustle. If both partners work, there should be no hustle from anybody because you need to reserve your time and energy on the household. It’s that simple. With women in the workplace, the economy has twice the population of people for the job. Therefore pay is low. If people start dropping out, then shortage of labor will lead to increase in pay. I’m looking forward to the cultural revolution of traditional households.
Not gonna lie, you almost had me…up to the last sentence.
Wow that is some quality content right there!
I think "who cares". Never heard of the lady, hopefully never will and i wish she kept her dellusions to herself.
Why give her audiance and talk about it?
I'm in London and aged 53/Gen X. She's laughable and represents everything wrong with the press here. Thank you for this.
I’m Gen X and used to work for a gallery that verbally praised me for going above and beyond but then hired this awful catty bimbo. She made more work for the rest of us and was really insulting when the boss wasn’t around. But he was infatuated with her and how much she fawned over him.
For a while I tried to point out how manipulative and incompetent she was but he relegated it to us having “a spat”.
The other female administrative assistant got fed up and quit.
Finally I quiet quit. If she showed up to a function she wasn’t supposed to be at I just walked out. I did my own thing on the side and when the business fell apart I was secure and had my own hustle going.
She tried to get hired at another gallery but I told the owner what she was like and they hired someone else.
Unfortunately there’s never been many good bosses worth giving your all to. Best to invest in you. ❤
I love this channel. Great work josh.
Excellent content and interpretation as always.
Dude, these people are so detached from reality its beyond funny
We just went through a huge hustle craze. I was part of it. We worked our socks off to at least achieve some level of economic comfort and the vast majority of us got no where. What that did was show us that that wasn’t the answer. Anti-hustle is the logical response to hustle culture.
I love how our government here in canada have the audacity to come up with "low cost solutions" for housing, aka limited space condo blocks, instead of tackling the core issue for not being able to afford a house anymore. Condos are worth what a house was worth maybe 10 to 20 years ago. And then afterwards, another 20 years ahead, condos will become way too expensive so now they'll be building closets for the same price they are currently selling condos. And then they wonder why people are sick and tired of working hard. Useless pieces of crap of politicians and media partakers.
I can't even finish this video, sorry Josh
Great video as always, Josh! ☺
5:51 also as a car expert. Growing up in land rovers is a rich problem. There is no such thing as a cheap land rovers. Either you pay upfront and get the warranty, or you buy used and pay over time.
They aren't bad vehicles (mostly), but there's almost nothing they can do that can't be done by a cheaper vehicle. Either a land cruiser or a jeep if you want specific examples.
Is not the expression when you buy cars like this.. and wonder the running costs.. you should not be buying a car like this 😜
"Things are better for people and I don't like that, everyone should suffer like I had to".
Selling Chrome extension that tracks you everywhere...good job.
I've never gotten a raise from working harder. Neither has anyone I know personally. The only way I, or anyone I know, have gotten a raise, is by hopping companies.
Oh how dare we want to enjoy our lives instead of waste them slaving away.
These articles reek "hello fellow [insert type of people]" meme.
A strange game. The only winning move is not to play.
