They say financial literacy is poor in the US.
Did you miss the part where it has to be invested in a market tracking index fund? The S&P 500, which is what people usually mean when they say "the market" has returned almost 10% / year over the last hundred years. Index fund fees are usually a fraction of a percent. So ~9% / year, subtract the US average inflation rate this century of 3% and you've got 6% real growth. No imaginary leverage scams needed.
