Says the unemployed loser who would rather wait for communism instead of plan for retirement.

Who's waiting bitch?

You own any equities? Post them

I own equity in your mom's ass bitch.

you have to be rich and privileged to invest in stock

No you don't all you need is a job.
Do you have one?

i think you're dramatically oversimplifying this, as 1) many people don't make enough money to cover basic expenses let alone invest in stocks and 2) not all employers offer 401k-type plans. plus if you start your own business or something you don't get shit either

[foonat]

I just dump my money into a mixed stocks/equity/bond 401k I get from my job. I contribute 12% of my salary and my employer matches up to 10%. It's up 13% this year :O

damn that's a good match

yeah it's a pretty sweet deal. and, they used to go up to 12% (or might have even been 15) but have been cutting back recently

There are people living on or bellow the poverty line that are unable to save money.
However the majority of people aren't living under these conditions.

Someone who invests as little as $200 a month can easily see realized gains of up to 300% after 30 years.
Thats $600,000 of tax free income if it was invested in an IRA.

Furthermore while it is ideal to have an employer match your IRA contributions you don't need an employer to start an IRA. There are plenty index funds that will fill this role easily enough.

Which is another reason why so many Americans are forced to work until they drop. If a man or women in their 20s saves 15-30% of their monthly wages and invests it properly he or she will have saved enough to retire comfortably in their 60s-70s.

Most people are lazy.
