There is No Work Life-Balance

The new "anti-grind" casual culture will keep you poor. Eventually, you must put in the hours, repetitions, and sweat to get ahead.
I've noticed successful people telling up-and-comers to slow down, take their time, enjoy their lives, and exercise work-life balance.
That's fine, but don't expect to become rich. Expect to stay on the hampster wheel from now until you are 80 years old.
A better way is to find your financial freedom number, which is the monthly income you need to free yourself from work.
The smaller the number (say $5,000/month), the faster you can build your escape. Working toward your number (along with your family) is your proper work-life balance.
There are many ways to reach your number, and combining new tactics and streams will produce amazing results.
Once you achieve your number, you can leave your job and focus on becoming rich as a family. How's that for work-life balance?
