I want less work, not more work. Go f*ck yourself, Grustle!

2 hrs for bathing? Bruh my wife takes 2x as long as i do, and she takes 4 mins.
Trisar
I have a between 4-5 hour commute each day because I have to use public transit. I mitigate the damage to my sanity by using time on the commuter rail to fire up my laptop and write shitty Ranma ½ fanfiction.
PorneliusHubertII
Hustle culture is bull shit, if you want to work yourself to death, go ahead, just don't try to normalize it.
inspiringandfunnyusernamecoolheh
That's why i decided to move rather than to have to commute for 2 hours each day

Eight hours for sleep? HAHAHAHAHahahahahahahahaaaaa....*sigh*.

We should all have the means for survival without having to work. Any work we choose to add to our lives should be for gravy, not essentials
ISwearIHadSomethingClever
9 hours for work with an unpaid lunch in the middle

We have to have second jobs inside hustles, well they sit back and give Trump money so that they never have to pay tax again and they can enslave us forever. Taxes or axes. Right now I'm in a fucking kill the rich mood.
SpectreA19
What if our job is more than 8 hours a day, HMMMMMMM
stickywiggit
I'd also like to point out to Grustle that most side hustles COST money because you have to pay into them with not just time but resources. Most people LOSE money on side hustles and burn themselves out in the process making it harder to do their real job and alienating them from their family.
So fuck off Grustle. No one asked you.
mattamunoz
My side hustle is being a disabled veteran. Helps me make ends meet :/
VodkaReindeer
Do chores with your family!
Outlavv
Side hustles are for people in extremely unfortunate circumstances of survival, or people who care about money above all else.

My commute is a 20-30 minute round trip 2 hours seems insane to me.

FlyingButtPliers
I had a side hustle going and then I got a girlfriend and while I'm not exactly upset about it, yeah... being social and having a side gig don't seem to be possible
Itwasmyname
Eat on the bus. Duh
conniecpu
You forgot that the busses have been so underfunded that it would turn the 2 hours of commuting into 4
FelixG
I think that 2 hour commute is with the bus. In my city if I wanted to take the bus to work rather than drive, it would turn a 20 minute commute into a 2 hour one, each way.
Affray
1)When I was in college I ended up biking everywhere I had to go because public transit was too expensive and added insane travel times to
Affray
2)my schedules. City busses in some cities are beyond useless and it frustrated the fuck out of me.
FelixG
It was crazy when I visited Tokyo and I could pretty much get anywhere in the city from any other place in the city in only like 40 minutes, and most places were like 20 minutes. And their trains and busses were all clean as could be.
shapr
work on the bus, duh
DocBenny
being a bus driver gets you a corner office and a $400k company vehicle!

Call centre agent?
Mohareb
shower and shores takes me about 15-20 minutes pr day
stickywiggit
Tbf he did mention family which implies children which means there is at least one tornado hitting his house on a regular basis. I could see cleaning taking at least an hour per day if you had a toddler.
I'm exhausted just being alive I cannot imagine having children AND a side hustle. That's insanity.
boevis
It shouldn't. That's kinda gross.
Mohareb
I dunno how you shower and clean but if you're not a slob it really takes no fucking time to keep it tidy. Nor do you need hours in the shower
boevis
I dunno how you shower and clean, but just showering, brushing teeth, and dressing should take more than 20 minutes..
Mohareb
not everybody have time to waste on pondering the big questions in life in the shower and spending ages on figuring out what to wear etc. You will find out later in life i guess
Affray
And one day you will learn that people prefer thoroughly washed genitals in their mouths than stuff that only got a once over and a rinse.
TheCryptid
currently trying to make my own game to start my own studio on my off hours. I havent been to the gym or seen friends since we started the project. Its almost literal insanity to have a side hustle while working full time
ScyrahsRetribution
Good on ya for giving it a go. My partner, and family mention to me I could start a side project if I'm unhappy with my current job. They don't understand how much effort that actually is. I'm content working a job I don't care about to afford the time and money for things I do care about.
kmcshane
I feel you
rowzdowr
I'm finishing school at night for similar reasons, and I feel that. The only real motivator is that it'll eventually (hopefully) replace my day job. Running a side hustle for long term leads to nowhere but burnout.
OnlyWantToSayOneThing
Especially when you get told by hustle culture that you need to pick up as much overtime as possible on your main job.
FancySharkDinnerParty
Side hustles being normalized has left an extremely bitter taste in my mouth.
theraininspainfallsmainlyontheplain
I can't do anything without my family coming up with a way to sell it. As if the market for small artsy crap isn't flooding.
DVSBSTrD
Let me know when you're ready to DO something about it.
FancySharkDinnerParty
Sure, let me just kill late stage capitalism. Realistically, I'm doing the very little I can by communicating with other working class people and voting against corporatism as much as I can. It's almost as effective as pissing into the wind.
DVSBSTrD
Gee IF ONLY THERE WAS SOMETHING WE COULD DO ABOUT THAT!

I have to fight monetizing my hobbies, I want to do them for fun, not try to make a business out of them.
LtRooney
I tried. Don't. It'll make you stressed and miserable, ruin the fun, and you still won't actually make any money.
suiseiseki
This. There's no faster way to burn out. It's not worth it.
Illinifan88
If a side hustle is a hobby you enjoy doing and you can make some extra money from it, that's great. If a side hustle is another task that kills you inside but you have to do it because your actual job doesn't pay enough to support a reasonable life style, then that's fucked.
Northwindlowlander
I had a little business I ran on the side (ehhhhh well OK I largely did it on my employer's time, but you know). And I used that for treats and holidays and general Irresponsible Spending. But somehow while I wasn't looking my little treat business became my "I need this to pay the rent" spending.
darkhalfbreed
Side hustles should be like something you want to make your main game but it's a risky market and you need a day job until you get off the ground. Like candle making or streaming.
kholli
No kidding. I work a full-time job (that I am pretty happy with) in 3 days. The rest of the week is my time. I have thought a couple times about getting a part-time or casual job on the side, but fuck that. Why do I need to make myself miserable for more money?
Rhythmaster
The economy is fucked, and no amount of condescending from well-off analysts and elite pundits in suits will convince people otherwise. Nobody cares about traditional macro-economic indicators like GDP, stock market, jobs numbers, none of this shit captures how we all feel like we're drowning and it feels like it gets worse every year and with every big disaster or shock to the system. Until we reverse the stranglehold of the oligarchs, it won't get better. Tax the rich!
SpecialAgentPinkfinger
Side hustle has become something it shouldn't have. Having a side hustle isn't bad, being forced to have one is.
LeSethX
I assumed side hustle here meant personal hobbies and fun time, not more work
unluckyandbored
In most contexts a side hustle is basically a second job.
MajorasTerribleFate
It's a shitty reframing of "second job". People with a full time didn't used to need a "side hustle".
vcgetdown
AFAIK it's just a secondary way to make money outside of your main hustle - your job
Gazmundo7819
The confusion is based on the fact that people refer to it as a side hustle. I think smarter people usually refer to it as a second job.
jackpkmn
A second job is a second job, a side hustle is a hobby you have turned into a job. It's quite simple.
Gazmundo7819
So a job?
RecurringNightmare
no, its a second job that you work self-employed and often from home and/or on weekends in the main sense, so monetizing your hobby is often the case there, any sort of investment, diy craftmanship, fixer-upper, etc...
Filolial
I've never been told to do a side hustle, and have never heard people boasting about doing side hustles or having one, besides few that do crypto/stock buying/selling. I am from Europe, not sure if this is one of those typical American things? Or that my social bubble happens to not include such people.
badexampleforagrownup
thats the lead in the tapwater
LincLoud
I don't want a hustle. I don't even want to work but if I must, I'd rather the job be enough. I want my weekends, I want time with friends and family. The only reason money matters at all is because the world has been shaped around it.
reddenbocker
More than that... you NEED all those things to continue being a normal, functioning human being. Ever hear one of those stories about some random, well paid exec that just said, 'Fuck it, I'm off the grid now.' and went to live in some trailer in the middle of the desert? This is the reason. People need to experience the life they're working for in order to make work make any kind of sense.
LincLoud
Too bad we're sold things. Through subtle or not-so-subtle advertising we are told that the thing shown to us, if purchased, will make us happy, fulfilled. It will fill that hole in ourselves. It never does, of course, so, we return to the altar of the consumer.
