And her brand needs a mascot!

That’s it. I’m cancelling my lip injection procedure. Maybe I can afford more green houses then.

It’s good, but the Monopoly angle plays down how dumb, desperate and not rich most of those grindset pimps are.
I mean, the knock on TikTok wealth influencers isn’t that they’ll make you into an evil robber baron (which, who doesn’t want that?). It’s that they’ll turn you into someone who owes $75,000 on unsold MLM leggings.

The only hustle the real ones were successful at was hustling away from their HS math classes as quickly as possible.

Even without the headline, I knew it had to be a gag when the first canned bit was “if you saved a dollar a day for a year, you’d end up with 30K.”

Might I interest you in hosting a party where I can introduce you and your friends to some life-changing kitchen accessories?

According to these hustle people, the money I am saving from not drinking Starbucks (I don’t drink coffee) should make me a multimillionaire by now!

“Which is worth more, the house or this laptop?
Obviously not the house!”
I’m out, I fold, buh-bye
The sad part is that much of the “hustle culture” is many folks out there who are just trying to survive, choosing some painful independence away from corporate culture. Hustle Culture Influencers are just a fraction of those who prey upon their own.

But how do you maintain your peak physical state without adhering to a bizarre avocado-only diet that you might be able to turn into another hustle

Dude, how can you ever expect to become a millionaire if you don’t have any habits you can cut out to save cash?!

I can’t stand hustle culture. I could never articulate why very well, until I heard this podcast on hustle culture on NPR’s code switch.
Tl;dr: telling people, especially POC that the reason they aren’t successful is because they don’t hustle enough in low wage jobs, not because of systemic racism and oppression preventing people from getting a fair shake and getting ahead in life.

It’s funny that a top hat and monocle alone is sufficient to signify Mr. Monopoly, even though in actuality he never wore a monocle (this being one of the classic examples of the Mandela effect).

She mentions the expense of lip injections. You can make your lips fat for free by chewing on them. When blood comes, lay off for awhile, come back to it later, and gradually build up layers of scar tissue. Soften the result with coconut oil, color with Sweet Tarts, and voila. You just need to stop before they look like hotdogs. Enlist a friend to watch for that and warn you.

I think the monocle part mostly comes from Eustace Tilley from The New Yorker. Or possibly Mr. Peanut.
