It is basically everybody, and that's an amazing opportunity. If you're in the US, there's absolutely zero excuse for almost anyone to be in that situation. That's how easy it is to be ahead of the curve financially.
In order to be that broke at 49, you have to make bad decisions over and over and over again throughout your entire life. Even with the inflation and problems with fiat money, there's literally no excuse. Even if you put a literal $20 bill in a box under your bed every week from 18 to 49, you'd have $32,000 in cash under your bed. That's without investing a penny in anything to counteract inflation. Twenty bucks a week is a bar so low you probably have to dig a hole to get any lower.
Save $100 a week and collect 2% interest over that period and you'll have over $200,000.
I'm as upset about the state of the financial system as anybody, but for anybody in this situation, this is a you problem 🤷🏼♂️
