Joshua Mayo, a YouTube personality who makes videos about work-from-home "side hustles" and methods for becoming a millionaire before age 30, told me recently that his audience of mostly young people doesn't want to work a standard 9-to-5 job for several decades and then retire off of their 401(k). "A lot of them don't find that appealing," he said.
