If you save 20% of your income for 40 years and you never divorce, you never have a major medical emergency (the number one reason people file for bankruptcy), the government never changes how they tax 401(k)s (that in itself is a huge problem down the road for investors), if we don't "overspend as a country" and go into hyper inflation, (think about that one for a minute), if we never have another war like Vietnam or WWII, if we never have an energy crisis like 1973, if Wall Street is Honest - you still have black swan events and hidden fees in your 401(k).

As long as banks and hedge funds continue buying up property no matter the cost, prices will likely continue to artificially inflate for a time.However, with inflation increasing at astronomical rates, an irresponsible government with zero accountability and unfettered spending, the same zero-accountability government also sharing a blurred line with corporate oligarchs that have aspirations of complete ownership of everything (and everyone if you pay attention), a lying emotional legacy media fear-mongering about war and disease while virtue-signaling on social issues, the younger generation not buying into the “American Dream” of owning a home or having children, and the absolute unwillingness of an egotistical public to believe anything not being pumped out of the black mirror in their living room, the future outlook for any market appears bleak to me.It’s an “everything bubble.”
