    I really can’t understand what this comment had to do at all with the post. Though the idea that I had five hundred extra dollars a month when in my twenties is laughable.

      Im in my 40’s, wealthier than ever and having spare 500 (in local equivalent) to save sounds unlikely. Also I’d be loosing money just keeping it in the bank with their fees and inflation.

      It’s saying that people they knew in their 20$ are in different wealth brackets in their 40’s.

      If they all made the median income their whole lives, they would be on different brackets if they saved in their 20’s versus the ones that didn’t.
