Not to say I disagree, but one wonders if there's broader macroeconomic implications when it's widely accepted that the best use of capital is to buy ETFs and stocks, or maybe real estate.

I say widely accepted because, as an upper middle class professional, it seems to be common sense retirement planning revolves around dumping a large amount of money into the S&P500, maybe with a side of small-time rental management.
