Hearing testimonies from different sources, I can only conclude that "You don’t need to be rich to invest, but you need to invest to be rich." Riches aside, investment can increase your financial freedom, but the problem with most people is procrastination, they want this BIG capital to invest, but it is not like that.

It mustn't be convenient, it mustn't be in thousands of dollars, a little that is being consistent about and carefully thought through could make that wealth. Start investing today.
For somebody that's living from paycheck to paycheck, it's hard for them because for most of the time, their income is just enough to cover their monthly expenses, so it's not only procrastinating that's the problem, but their income source as well.
Of course, this can be solved easily, but as soon as they find another job, there's another problem again, and that's lack of knowledge about investing. This can be solved through researching, and learning, but not all have the time to do it, or not all are interested in investing, and that's the hard truth. Investing is for everyone, but not everyone is capable of investing. For some, maybe they can't afford. For some, maybe they aren't interested. For some, they are afraid because they might get scammed.
At the end of the day, not everyone will ever invest. On the flip side, I believe that people here are already investing mostly into crypto, and that's good. Just continue, and if you haven't, maybe this is the time for you to invest already. Start with a few bucks weekly or even monthly. Starting with a few bucks is better than not starting at all.
