      Technology has allowed for specialization. Some folks can sit in front of a computer all day, and make a profit on selling intangibles, or drop shipping goods from whatever country manufactures them, direct to the American consumer (as we no longer manufacture anything but debt-based, fiat currency).
      Some, like the caller, might prefer to start a business that actually makes or fixes things. These businesses typically require higher capital expenditures to buy equipment.

    To achieve a secure retirement, aiming to save at least 15% of your income in a 401(k) is advisable. Online tools can assist in calculating the best savings strategy for you, considering factors like age and income. Consistently saving this percentage can help build your retirement fund effectively, thanks to the benefits of compound interest.
