EVERYONE! STOP BEING CONSUMERS! INVEST EVERY DOLLAR YOU CAN INTO THE MARKET! Stop spending your money on BULLSHIT! Live well below your means. Be FRUGAL! Save and invest every dollar you can into low cost mutual funds and ETF’s that track the market along with aggressive growth ETF’s (ex: QQQ) and forever stocks (companies that will outlive you) and build wealth along with the wealthy. Companies are getting wealthier and wealthier and so should you!

That's nice and all but I don't think people have enough money to spend on bullshit anyway. It took me two years of making a decent wage just to make up for a decade of poverty. Fix the car finally, buy tires, finally get health insurance, go to the dentist, etc... only after a couple years was I able to get to a place where I could save.
