>as a "lack of luxury" is kind of weird.

I did no such thing.

In fact, I am unable to even contribute enough to meet my full employer match (like most of the people in my office).

I said I don't have the luxury of investing meaningful amounts of money into potentially risky stocks/funds that only invest in renewable energies instead of broad market/whole market index funds that also include fossil fuel driven companies. As far as tax-sheltered, it looks like 59-65% of Americans have access to a 401k [1], something like 3 million teachers will have access to a 403b, and those that don't have access to either are almost certainly eligible for an IRA.
