Imagine being middle class in your late 50s right now and eyeing retirement. Even worse, imagine you were planning to retire this year and now plan to work another couple years due to fear.

Yeah, that was me last June. Thankfully the spouse is still working.

This is completely wrong. The middle class' retirement is in the stock market, and they know that.
