> significant disposable income
B.S. Last time I checked, accounts at most online brokers were free. And they even allowed purchase of fractional share - so you could start investing with 100 bucks. As long as you do save that $100 and not throw it all away on crap, of course.
- danaris 3y agoThis just shows how out of touch you are with the problems of the average American, that you see $100 that you don't have to spend on necessities—particularly $100 disposable that you have on any kind of recurring basis—as not being significant.
- nickpp 3y agoAre you saying the average american doesn't have a disposable monthly $100? That is demonstrably false - the statistics about current income and life costs paint the opposite picture: not only Americans but average people all over world are wealthier than they've ever been. There are inequalities, of course, (like Europeans falling behind) but the Americans are doing very well indeed. So please stop with your propaganda. https://awealthofcommonsense.com/2023/10/americans-have-never-been-wealthier-no-one-is-happy/ https://awealthofcommonsense.com/2023/10/americans-have-neve... Americans have that disposable $100. Now they may very well be deciding to throw it away on cigarettes, alcohol, weed, various entertainment (tv) or all sorts of crap - but that is a whole other discussion altogether.
