Millennials worldwide have been taught that anyone can get ahead; you just have to work hard. They’ve been raised on stories of rags to riches success. But what if the dream being sold, is a lie?

Kassandra Montes is a single mother, juggling full-time study with four jobs.

She’s the first person in her family to go to college, moving from New York from Miami when she was 19.“I have to go out and beyond because I know like I'm going to have to struggle to get where I want to be.”“I've put some of my classes on credit cards. I took out a loan because I maxed all my credit cards,” she said.

Ms Montes works four jobs, yet still needs assistance from the college’s food bank. She’s currently living in a homeless shelter with her young son.“Sometimes I wanna just kinda give up, but I know I can't give up because in the long run it's gonna pay off,” she said.Ms Montes is one of millions of millennials around the world dedicating their lives to work and study to get ahead - ‘hustling’.. 12 per cent expect to work until they die.

“For every one of the big successes who becomes an overnight billionaire - I can introduce you to 5000 who didn't - who tried real hard, used what little money they could, maxed out their credit card and are now working at Walmart.”Daniel Thomas Hind is part of a generation of young Americans who grew up wanting to live the hustle lifestyle. He didn’t start light - his first projects included two start-ups and a health coaching business. Every minute of the day was accounted for.

It is a lie
