My parents didn't do stock market, for the simple fact that you got a nice interest from a savings account. Those times are gone now. Some people have a hard time grasping the alternatives. Stocks are considered "risky", but if you have a 10+ years timeframe, an index fund is not risky at all. I also have 75% of acquaintances that don't do stock market or crypto. And that's the reason why my savings are outperforming all of them.
