    If they pulled the averages around mid year 2022 and 2023, then the 19% gain came entirely from the stock market gains. Any additional contributions was marginal at best.

    As an Asian American, I'm glad to see more Americans are finally saving more for their retirement. For the longest time Asian Americans were the only group that really were saving >20% of the income. This is one of the biggest reason why we went from dirt poor students to become the wealthiest group by far. We have been shaking our heads at how undisciplined most Americans are financially. Glad to see finally more are finally waking up.

      Asian Americans are STILL the only group saving >20% of their income.
      Most Americans remain horribly undisciplined, which is about how we like it. Otherwise, how else are we to fill our rentals at top rents? In Asia, rentals could only get about 1/4-1/6 as much rent relative to the property value.

    This is good news though it’s probably not that much in real dollars because the starting point was likely so low. Still, it’s better that people are investing more. I know several of my Gen X peers who hardly saved anything at all for retirement, which you can’t really do unless you have the income, but you have to start as early as possible even if you can’t contribute much at the time, which is why it’s good to hear that Gen Z is starting early.

    Your explanation is clear and practical. Nevertheless, the market can undergo manipulation in various ways. While I initially grasped trading crypto assets, my technical analysis skills were a limiting factor. This changed when I came across Leah Foster Alderman's strategy. Day trading deserves increased attention, given its resilience to the market's unpredictable nature.
