As a Gen Z, do you have a strong desire to get rich quickly?
In today’s fast-paced world, Generation Z—those born between 1997 and 2012—is widely recognized for having a strong desire to build up their wealth rapidly. The main hook that drives Gen Z towards this goal is the influence of social media platforms like Instagram, TikTok, and YouTube. These platforms showcase the luxurious lifestyles of influencers and celebrities, creating the impression that rapid wealth accumulation is possible and highly desirable. Constant exposure to such images has led many Gen Z individuals to aspire to similar levels of success.
Internal beliefs and influences are also significant factors driving Gen Z’s desire to get rich quickly. Many believe that having a lot of money at a young age, earned through hard work, will resolve financial problems, make their parents proud, and earn them respect. These internal beliefs and thoughts motivate Gen Z to work hard and earn “that money” quickly.
Gen Z is known to be more imaginative than previous generations, according to USA Today. Watching movies such as The Big Short, which depicts a life of wealth, influences Gen Z to build their extraordinary imaginations, often referred to as “delulu” in this generation. But this “delulu” is not bad at all! It keeps them motivated to work hard at work or on campus to achieve their definition of success, often tied to earning a lot of money.
Delulu is the solulu they said.
However, it’s important to remember that there are no quick ways to get rich. Simply working hard and maintaining consistency are the main keys for Gen Z to gain substantial wealth, especially in this digital era where working remotely and earning money while studying on campus is a remarkable opportunity.
So, are you one of the Gen Zs willing to do anything to get rich quickly?
