Popular personal finance youtuber Graham Stephan just posted a reaction video to my viral quiet quitting video... Graham's video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=y-ZI_R4TBrc Original video: https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=uBVvyxOZViI In Graham Stephan's response video, he gets angry at a few moments, debating me on several economic points. We go back and forth on topics such as the federal reserve, quiet quitting, Gen Z, building wealth, and workplace politics. Graham defends employers and the role that they play in the broader economy, as well as the fed's handling of money and money printing. Graham and I agree on topics of dead end jobs, job hopping or job switching to make more money, and avoiding corporate ladders when feasible. I want to clarify - although I debate Graham Stephan on a few of his ideas, I think he's a great guy. I admire the work that he's done as a CEO, building his real estate portfolio, and youtube channel. He's one of the biggest finance youtubers on the planet and I admire that he's pushed his team forward with him - most notably: Jack Selby. In my original video, that Graham is reacting to, I discuss the growing Quiet Quitting trend in workplaces. To provide clarity to the question of What is Quiet Quitting? Quiet Quitting can be defined as doing your job and meeting all requirements, while not being invested beyond that. You're not staying at work after your hours are over. You're not working off the clock, for free. And you're not thinking about work outside of work. Quiet Quitting is largely a rejection of corporate culture in America. The middle class is struggling today and many younger people (like Gen Z) are growing frustrated with the job market and working conditions. Quiet Quitting has become a point of contention between employers and employees in many workplaces. With a potential recession looming, Graham Stephan has suggested that Quiet Quitters may be the first people to be fired or laid off if a recession occurs. In my response to Gram's video, I point out that young people today don't have many of the assets or liabilities that have incentivized past generations (like boomers). For example, most Gen Z kids don't have a mortgage. With home ownership being so expensive, and out of reach for so many young people today - it's hard to get young people to work hard. Asset prices have exploded and living expenses have skyrocketed. Gen Z doesn't have disposable income like past generations. They don't have any "skin" in the economy right now. My argument is - how can you expect young adults to work extra hard when everything they want is so far out of reach? Look at education too. Many young adults with a college degree aren't earning upper class livings. College degrees aren't providing large incomes like they used to. Again - what does Gen Z have to lose, financially? Why would they want to go above and beyond for no additional pay? ... this is the mindset of many U.S. workers today. But you guys tell me below? Do you agree with my points? Do you agree with Graham Stephan? Is Quiet Quitting a legitimate economic trend that should be respected?
