    You can reach 1 million in assets over a decade or so as a middle class worker.

    This might be true in a rich 1st world country. For a small subset of “middle class worker”, most live paycheck to paycheck, barely scraping by.

      …yeah, this is in USD, we’re working with a specific assumption of population here. Also, definitionally, anyone barely scraped ng by is NOT middle class. That’s the entire point of the designation.
