Does this mean I'll be able to pick up Zoomettes at a bargain at some point?

I think they at least contribute to a 401k.
$20k contributed~ I'd say at least 50% do.

I survived on 20 bucks a month of savings. Everything gets eaten up by utilities and rent. I don't have any subscription except the internet and phone bill. I have graduate degree in philosophy from Princeton.

I can't wrap my head on how people refuse to save a few months of expenses for emergencies, but the reality is that most are like that

Not everyone irl ofc, but if you have less than 100k invested by the time you're 25 you're fucked

You will have 0 savings in today's economy unless you're an autistic shut-in who spends nothing, or you have a top 10% income
