What @gurgavin misses is that there wasn't an option in 1950 to invest $8,000 in the market.

People across levels of financial sophistication have deduced that leverage is required to build wealth in markets. The problem: They keep using blunt instruments that create heads-i-win-tails-you-lose outcomes.

None of this happened by accident. It’s the result of policy failure and the private sector's poverty of imagination to build effective solutions for the middle class.
At @getbasiccapital, we’re fundamentally reimagining and reinventing the 401(k) for employers and employees.
By retirement age, many Gen Xers will be looking at:
• A 401(k) that’s hundreds of thousands short
• Heavy reliance on Social Security
• Gig work or delayed retirement
That formula no longer holds:
• Social Security remains vital, but it’s underfunded
• Pensions have disappeared
• 40% of Americans can’t cover basic expenses
This isn’t just a problem at the margins; the middle class feels it too.
Back in the 1940s Reinhard Hohaus, an actuary at Metropolitan Life, gave us the “three-legged stool” of retirement:
• Social Security
• An employer pension
• Personal savings
Today, the legs are gone. Most people are sitting on the floor. 🧵
For decades, there was an unspoken truce between employers and workers: You give the company your best years, and they ensure you can retire with security.
Then the deal changed. 🧵
But there has to be a way for employers to show up for their workers without breaking the balance sheet.
That’s what we’re building at @getbasiccapital.
