Are we living in the golden age?

Brad Barrett discusses whether we are living in the golden age, particularly from an investing perspective. He believes that this is indeed the golden age of investing. He emphasizes that the ease of access and the variety of investment options available today, such as low-cost broad-based index funds, make it a prime time to start investing. These changing dynamics, including favorable tax codes and advances in investment tools like IRAs and HSAs, have fundamentally made the process simpler and more accessible for many people compared to past decades 1 2 3.
