The big companies stole the data. The average person can’t do that

This is by design. It’s the same all over the world. The wealthy are not going to just let you compete

Building a personal savings was a lot more effective 50 years ago, to the point it actually did something.

With inflation where it is today - where a young person will pay $800/mo. making $75k/year for an apartment and $2800/mo. for the same exact place 10 years later with the same salary through turbulent hiring and layoff conditions - it makes saving an impossibly uphill climb.

Simply, unless your savings is perfectly continuous and outpacing that incredible inflation you are not actually saving - only penny pinching and still ending up behind.
