Hustle culture is actually harmful to the long term wellbeing. That's because you either end up working more hours or you might not be able to always make enough money to pay your bills. There is no financial security.

Hustle culture can be harmful when it normalizes constant work, rest guilt, and tying self-worth to productivity. Over time, that leads to burnout, anxiety, poor sleep, and strained relationships. It can also reduce creativity and decision quality.
