Americans treat time like money. Every minute counts. It’s why “hustle culture” is so strong — people are always trying to be productive, efficient, and on-the-move.
They value punctuality, too. Show up late to a meeting or dinner? You might get side-eyes. Even their vacations are short (and sometimes skipped entirely). Work hard, play hard, rest… later?
But it’s not all spreadsheets and deadlines. There’s also this love for road trips, weekend getaways, and backyard barbecues. So yeah, it’s a high-speed lifestyle, but there’s heart underneath it all.
