    Yes, it is trickling down… But not as much as it should

    It may be trickling down, but only to the ever shrinking middle class. Normal working people used to have pensions, then 401ks popularized a nation wide obsession with gambling for retirement.

    Employer matched retirement benefits are getting rarer by the day and it’s understandable why so many people don’t care about the stock market doing well. Why would anyone care if the market is making a killing if they have no access to it?
