I'm not even sure how that's really realistic in the US at least.

I think a lot of people with full-time desk jobs have a 401k or a Roth IRA, and most of those are stock-based (which is really the only way to make sure your money doesn't decay in value due to inflation), and those are generally going to be stuff like total-indexes or S&P500-based index funds.

There's probably technically something else you could peg it to, so that's probably not strictly true, but I think an awful lot of people are sort of buying Apple stock without fully realizing it.
