CMV: the economy is massively rigged, and that’s the way it’s going to stay

The top 1% owns 56% of the stock market. The top 10%, 88% of it. In the past the mistake a lot of people made was assuming the stock market would keep going up indefinitely, and that was a great way to lose a lot of your money. But with the numbers above, the rich will always make sure the stock market is propped up (look at where the vast majority of the stimulus money went, while people got a $1,200 check if they qualified).

I’m generally pretty optimistic-I still think you can come up from nothing and change your life, get to the middle class from poverty, my family was on food stamps when I was young and I have a high paying job now-but when it comes to the truly rich or even the top 10%.. “It’s a big club, and you ain’t in it.” - George Carlin.

Edit: not saying it’s impossible to get to the top 10%. Zuckerberg, Bezos got into the top 1%. But let’s be realistic here. Also, I understand anyone can invest in the stock market. But my point is just that it’s really rigged, not that it’s impossible.

Also, not sure if it matters but I work in finance, invest in stocks, and understand finance pretty well overall even beyond my job (I read a lot about it, it’s interesting to me). I know how to make progress and know it can be done, I just think it’s rigged.

I would agree with you, except for the rising number of millennial millionaires, millennials are currently set to become one of the wealthiest generations in recorded history based on statistics. Currently speaking baby boomers are still number one, but these millennials millionaires are born from hard work, not from inherented wealth, so there is hope.
