The underlying here is people don’t want to “work hard” for decades because that is no longer considered a good life.

So they don't want to do that, or they don't realize how important it is. On one hand I identify with a lot of the criticisms of "Generation Tiktok" and the anti-work movement and so on. On the other hand, I didn't appreciate the significance of long-term investing as much in my 20s as I do now, either. And I know plenty of people in their 30s and 40s who still don't. The only real mistake we make imho is telling these people they're right when they're not.
