    It depends on the type of investing you want to do. The working class can absolutely invest in ETFs at varying risk profiles and build a retirement. They can’t drop $100k on an online startup and hope it explodes. They can invest in starting their own business.

    It’s really hard to go from thousandaire to billionaire, but you can absolutely hit millionaire.

      Small investments that won’t grow very large, and all while struggling.

      They can invest in starting their own business.

      Most fail. It’s usually a poor investment.

        You are so pointlessly negative. What they said is true. Those are the most common avenues for middle class to move classes.
