That's the point, they often can't because unlike you and the other people putting money into the magic money making machine which requires unsustainable growth based GDP to work, aka the stock market, they put theirs into equity.

Selling 1-2 houses for $150,000 isn't going to let them retire lol. They also bought houses for generational income so they can gift them to their children or grandchildren.

And just like the reactionary fun both of you are going with, you pretend like it's still not a class issue lol.

They're still part of the rentier class, let's not start sucking their dicks too hard because they're petit. They have a contradictory class position, but the fear of returning to the proletariat makes them the worst exploiters of the working class. You see the same thing from small producers under market pressure from supermarkets. Up yo analysis bro.
