I feel like most people do not, in fact, watch stock tickers and that most people do actually pay close attention to their ability to make ends meet shrinking by the month.

You'd be surprised, since a lot of people have 401k, IRA, and other automatic investments

If you can afford to contribute to a retirement account, you’re probably not struggling to make ends meet. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯

Some are company matched or funded entirely, even for minimum wage jobs in the US. But I get your sentiment

Yeah those do exist but they tend to be the exception and not the rule. And anyone working minimum wage is gonna avoid using it because they’re close to starvation a lot of the time. I’ve been there
