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)_/¯
Normal people can still save for their future. We shouldn't normalize being able to save a little bit for your future as being wealthy. I'm still struggling to secure a future for myself and the only way i can save that money is by being frugal and making other sacrifices in my life like driving as little as often and meal prepping. A small change to my expenses could eliminate the little bit i save each month.
There’s a difference between being rich and “not struggling”.
