NGL im kind of halfways on that. Yes obviously thinking about investment and ways to make up passive income or even start your own buisness are the best ways to plan for a healthy retirement fund. But people who come from poverty, poorly educated to begin with, poor financial mindset, and just scrapes each week are going to have a much harder time of it and if they try they usually fall for an MLM scheme. Its easy to judge these people and go 'well your financial failure to save up is your own fault you idiot' but Ive had enough poverty stricken friends to know that the deeper the hole you are born into the harder it is to climb out of even with honest work and educating yourself through the internet.
