Well done, but so many young people are not and will not be able to accumulate and invest as much. Just look at the mortgage interest they are paying, if they are lucky enough to become homeowners.

I kept thinking, these are the people who have saved up or sold businesses in the flyover country, and are now living the high life. The employees serving them are those without investments.
I am 45, and I really hope to be one of those retirees one day.
Why flyover vice anywhere else? Why would servers not have investments? Such a strange post full of assumptions.
