Many programmers can save >50% of their net income. I realize that this is not possible in every part of the world or in every situation, but if anyone is stable financially, it's probably us.
Concluding from your previouw answer it is due to your choices, not possibilities. Financial education should be mandatory, to this day only academics seem to know the basic concept of wealth accumumation => need for investment to build personal wealth...
I agree, but say that to my parents. You might as well say it at least 50% of all parents worldwide while you are at it. I personally am very mad at mine for practically not teaching me anything (not even cooking).
I am getting financial education after I hit 40. Pathetic to some but I couldn't have predicted the unknown unknowns. ¯\_(ツ)_/¯
