    I am not seeing the connection. Whenever I hear capital and elites, it’s a clear red flag around lack of understanding. And just laziness about money. I think a lot of these voices would change if they just had 20% of [edited: discretionary] income auto-invested in equities from an early age.

      Do you mean disposable income or discretionary income?

      Because taking 20% of the former leaves a lot of the population unable to pay for essential living expenses because they effectively have zero of the latter.

        Thanks I meant discretionary.
