I'm not simping for big corporations. They definitely have issues. But how did they get that way? A change in work culture in my opinion. Also, if somebody saved %15 of their pay from the time they're 18 until they're ready to retire around the age of 62-65, they would be a multi-millionaire and able to live off monthly payments until they die. Assuming you invested in some mutual funds or something similar. Nothing too risky.

Have you ever seen this data?

I’m curious what you think of it and how it might come into play with worker/employer relations.

Look, I have a good job and I am naturally frugal and a saver. I’m not complaining about how this is affecting me, even though it inevitably affects us all. But the data is the data. No amount of “well I think X Y and Z” is going to change the past slope of the numbers.

In my opinion? A combination of greed and politicians selling us out. The same old story and history repeating itself. I'm not an expert in this field.

Personally I think if the government would get out of my way and I wasn't forced to participate in this bullshit monetary system that's controlled by a private bank, I'd be much better off. The american people were sold a lie.
