Hustle culture makes it feel like if I don’t have a monetised insta/YouTube + newsletter + side gig I’m completely failing at generating wealth for myself.

Side hustle is so old school, passive income is the way to go

If the end goal of the hustle isn't to generate passive income, you're signing up to hustle indefinitely. ETFs are passive enough for me.

Like everyone else, just keep putting money in ETFs and growth assets and you’ll be just fine (ever more so in the long run)

I just woke up from “side hustle” craze. I was working too much is free time, I burned myself out. Where did it get me? No where.

Highly Technical Market Sell-Off - Though, it has picked up over lunch and I suspect that short term turn is in near. Old floortrader told me once, never trust a market that is making new session highs or lows during lunch. That's not normal. This might not be a normal day; but we do need to rebound to get another opportunity into the short trend. So, count on it. The last draw is more suspect as it hasn't been proven to exist yet. So, we will see how we look when we trade 9855.75 on NQ.

Need some advice. Currently 32 YO with $23.7k in student loans, $60k in retirement, and $54k in cash. Want to pay off loans by end of year, max out 401k, and save for a house. Does it make sense to use $10k from pension to pay down loans and the rest from cash? How much should I have in my 401k by this point?
