what the fuck have they been doing their entire lives?I'm constantly browbeaten for not starting my investment fund in my 20s, you mean to tell me there's people in their 50s who never got shamed for that?
>>62626539I had a 401k in my twenties.But didn't save other than that
>>62626539most people can't afford to savehave expensive families and kids to pay for and stuffhave poor financial habitsdon't understand the importance of investing and time in the marketto the average normie buying the S&P sounds like going to vegas and putting it all on red

>>62626539this is why social security is so expensiveall they had to do was put $5 a day away for 30 yearsit is literally that easy

>>6262653950s is gen x. they grew up after the easy mode that boomers had and most gen x hasnt been able to save because cost of living. they wont be able to retire until they are 80 or so. millennials will die working and zoomers will get ass cancer and die before 30 anyway so might as well spend everything now and enjoy life before the big kike war and depopulation event

>>62626720What is the national debt at again? The ai increased the skill floor for everyone but there's been no adjustments in hiring standards. Industrialization brought new jobs but ai? You're all invested in ai.
