Even if a person can only save 1% of their income, it’s a place to start. If a person works hard they won’t be at that 12$ an hour job for long. The key then is not to increase lifestyle with every raise. That’s where most people screw up. There’s people out there who have become millionaires on a 40k salary, then there’s people who make 150k and are living paycheck to paycheck.

Reality is, a major portion of people can't save 5% and start a family in today's world.

Paying for their family and saving a set amount (while starting a family) are two different things.

Like I said, preaching what is good for your situation as gospel is short minded. Some people put every dollar into their business, some were born rich, some are having a bad run of luck. Save? Yes, if you can and still have a life worth living. After all is considered, I agree some can't afford to.

You would think if 6% of the world's population consumed 60% of the world's goods and services, there might be some gravy for "most."

Our kids live well but 4 outta the 5 live above how their mom and I were: raised and lived. Today's Joneses are way worse than our day's Joneses it seems. None of them drive clunkers. All have a mortgage young. Money is cheap and has been all their decades so in they dive.

None of our children were raised with the concept of student debt being the Baal of gods, but two of our kids married others with 6 figure loans. Wow. Still paying into their mid-30's (to the government) is nothing we had to worry about.

The stock market and the ability to own land, and own a business has been the greatest economic engine the world has ever known. That's why the 6% has the 60%.
Stocks have risk (not much). Owning land has upsides and downsides. Owning a biz takes risk and work, work, work.
Most don't care for risk or the work of owning your own biz.

Donna and I did all three of these plans and we've been blessed.
Do none of them at your own peril I'd say.

Blessings,
Mark

Find a career you are qualified for and enjoy and stay the course. The same with finding a solid home and staying put. For investments We have mostly done the same. We hold most of the funds and securities today that we did 25 years ago or more. Sure we have added a few or sold some for losses to lower our capital gains etc. This is what worked for our family as we inherited no wealth and we had one income for all but 7 years out of our 50 years of marriage. For others options and choices may very well be far different. The goal is to know what you want and need for the future and plan how to do that and manage the heck out of the income you spend. It is amazing what even average returns can do for you when you commit monthly to investing and let it build for 50 years.
