I have manged saved up like $2000 but it's taken me years of hard work and scrimping and saving and probably most importantly living with my family rent free for a time. I hold onto it for dear life, it's a cushion that stops me worying endlessly about every penny I spend and means I can handle buying a new fridge or cooker if necessary. I couldn't imagine spending $10 dollars on stocks let alone thousands. Poverty is a never ending nightmare that causes endless trauma for those it is inflicted upon and even though I no longer have to live paycheque to pay cheque I still pretty much do because of the fear of losing the tiny little bit of breathing room I have.

I have seen a lot of people in the same general area as you who see it as "the way out," right? Like they save for years and eventually realize that they will never retire and literally work to death regardless of how well they thrift and save. It's a scary realization, it's the same reason gas stations sell lottery tickets.
It's not something to be proud of, exactly, but there's a big difference between them and the California leftist making six figures who bought in as a meme or whatever.
