    Say you get 300% gains on your money and consistently put 50% of your money in stocks for 50 years. It still won’t make most people rich.

    Retiring comfortably? Sure, you’ve saved 50% of your salary. But rich? Like, Elon Musk family money in the 90s when no one knew him? Nope.

      I really think 99.99% of people would be super happy to just be rich enough to have a car, a house, and good food. We don’t need very much. People just dont want to be poor.
