But I do reject the notion for MY life that I need to maximize every waking minute of my life for someone else or for some goal. Now I've also frontloaded my life in my 20s to get to this point. It's not like I was owed this mentality. But I did that consciously with the intent of doing what I want to do with my time (we all have to do shit we may not want to at some point, that's not what I mean).

If you were sacrificing your values (family, health, etc) hustling and bustling, that's what I would mean. People get married and then work so much they never see their spouse or kids. End up divorced or sick. Stuff like that. I don't want that. I'm okay with being a millionaire instead of a billionaire if it means I can be happy and healthy. That's what I mean. But this is about ME. My definitions and values aren't necessarily for YOU. Hustle culture in general isn't for ME.
