Ever notice how the "hustle culture" narrative feels outdated? Previous generations rode decades of asset appreciation—real estate, stable pensions, compounding equity gains. Meanwhile they sold us the "grind harder" gospel.

Turns out? Maybe we should've ignored the pep talks and just gone all-in on solid long-term plays. Take something like Chipotle stock as an example—held from early days would've crushed most salary increases from "working your way up."

The real lesson isn't about one ticker. It's about asset allocation beating wage slavery. Generational wealth isn't built by clocking extra hours—it's built by putting capital to work while you sleep.
