    The working class can absolutely invest in ETFs at varying risk profiles and build a retirement.

    Small investments that won’t grow very large, and all while struggling.

    They can invest in starting their own business.

    Most fail. It’s usually a poor investment.

      You are so pointlessly negative. What they said is true. Those are the most common avenues for middle class to move classes.

        I would call it realistic instead of negative.

        Yeah, you can get rich through ETFs but it’s incredibly unlikely.

            Yes and highly recommended if you have the money to do so, but it’s not going to make you rich, and it’s certainly not going to pull you out of poverty.
