I can retire at like 45 and have three times your net worth

Yet Americans cannot protest, because they are living from paycheck to paycheck. This is not in jest, this is the reason Americans trump up (ahem) when non-US citizens ask why they don't protest ICE and whatever other nonsense is going on.

Did you ever consider that you are in a bubble and most Americans barely have savings and are a healthcare incident away from poverty?

"The median American has $8,000 in transaction accounts (savings, checking, money market). [...] Only 46% of U.S. adults have enough emergency savings to cover three months of expenses"

Seems like not everyone can retire at 45 eh?
