Is It a Sin to Just Relax After Work?

Lately, I feel like every conversation at work ends with someone bragging about their side hustle or passive income stream. I'm a software engineer in Austin, and for a while, I was tutoring on weekends for extra cash. Everyone kept telling me how smart it was, how I'd retire early if I just kept grinding. But honestly? I was miserable. The students didn’t care, and I was losing all my free time. Now that I’ve quit, I feel lighter, but I can’t shake the guilt. Why does it seem like relaxing is a crime these days? Is it really so bad to just binge a show with my dog after work? I’m tired of feeling like I have to monetize every spare minute. Does anyone else feel this pressure, or am I missing something? I’d love to hear how you all handle this nonstop hustle culture. 🛋️🐶 #WorkLifeBalance #HustleCulture #CareerAdvice #JobCareer
