🎥 More about this video:
Does it ever feel like everyone online is telling you to quit your job? From TikTok creators flexing their “I make $40k a month” lifestyles to hustle culture gurus saying the only way to be rich is to ditch your 9-5 — the internet has romanticized quitting like it’s the only path to freedom.

BUT here’s the truth: not everyone should quit their 9-5. In this video, I unpack why keeping a traditional job might actually set you up for more wealth and happiness, how the internet’s obsession with quitting fuels toxic narratives, and what the Hubs Life drama reveals about how much we tie our identities to work.
