There was way less information back then.
Investing in funds wasn't preached by every other YouTuber (there wasn't even a YouTube equivalent, obviously). Investment advice was something financial advisors were doing and they have a pretty bad track record.
My parents / grandparents had good salaries, got rich with houses, got incredibly early golden pensions, wasted some money with investment funds and market crises (2000, 2008).
